Narrative

Employee was cleaning the plant area, rolled a 2"" x ~15' suction hose, and placed on the floor. At the time the hose was placed on the floor he apparently twisted his back. An 11/9/15 physician's report indicates that the employee's diagnosis was ""Lumbosacral strain / R Sciatic neuralgia"", and states that the employee ""is totally incapacitated at this time"".
