Narrative

One employee squatted down to pick up the backstop, which was in a 12""x12"" box and weighed close to 100lbs. Upon squatting down the employee had to adjust position due to being uncomfortable in the coveralls. Once the employee adjusted position, EE went to lift the box containing the backstop and felt a small tug in lower back.
