Narrative

A temp EE finished loading a 1000 lb. super sack when the EE noticed the super sack started to slide off the forklift forks. The EE thought they tilted the forks back. The EE then grabbed onto the super sack and felt pain in their lower back. On 2-15-22 temp EE was evaluated and given a prescription and a back belt for a lower lumbar strain.
