Narrative

EE was operating a 993K loader loading binder. A piece of binder broke loose. The operator felt a tweek in lower back. EE did not receive medical treatment until 12/07/2016, the first treatment. EE was off work at that time with Meniers disease. Management thought that EE was still of work for the Meniers disease and not for the back injury up until 02/17/2017.
