Narrative

EE bent over to seal the bottom of a stopping resulting in a sprain to EE's back. EE became reportable lost time injury after seeking medical attention on 4/8/19. Cause of this incident was lack of EE concentration. PPE was not a factor, mining systems was not a factor, compliance with rules & regulations was not a factor, miner proficiency may have been a factor.
