Narrative

Technician manually lifted two turbo cores (weighing about 60lbs ea.) into service truck. They placed a box on each of them to minimize lifting, then rolled the boxes into place for transport. When rolling, they felt a minor pain in their back that worsened over time. That day the temperature reached a high of 42 degrees with heavy snow flurries and wet, muddy walking surfaces.
