Narrative

EE was replacing VSI hammers by removing the lifting chain from several worn VSI anvils. The anvils were placed in the recycle basket. One anvil had the chain under the anvil. EE was bending over the edge of the basket and reaching in when EE lifted and turned the anvil. It was at that moment that they felt a sharp pain in lower back.
