Narrative

On 8/18/22 The employee was collecting the shank and tooth (approx. 60 lbs.) from the loader that had been collected at the belt magnet. As they pulled the shank off the belt, which was shoulder height, their fingers slipped out of the tooth and the shank fell causing the employee to ""catch"" the weight with their left arm. This caused muscle strain in their left shoulder.
