Narrative

A miner was bringing screens from the warehouse to the screening building using a forklift. While driving over uneven surfaces the screens shifted on the forks and slid onto the ground. When repositioning the screens onto the forks the miner strained their back. First aid was applied, but the injury required medical attention. The miner received work restrictions.
