## Narrative

EE was replacing a hose at the B-Tank manifold.  After they had fabricated a new hose, they arrived at the manifold and disconnected the damaged hose.  When EE went to pick up the hose, one of the ears on the camlock end got caught in the deck grating.  EE proceeded to bend down to free it, at which time EE tweaked EE's back.
