## Narrative

The EE alleges he hurt his back on 10/2 but did not report any injury. I spoke to the EE on 10/28 via telephone after trying several times to contact him. He states he was putting on a repaired hydraulic hose on his haul truck and hurt his back.  He left work on 10/8 when he was told to find a water leak in his truck.  The EE also filed for unemployment.
