Narrative

Employee was inspecting the K1 front clinker tunnel to ensure that the other shifts have been doing there assigned tasks. During inspection they found that both the north and south side of the tunnels had spilled material so they went ahead and started removing the build up by shoveling when they encountered a sharp stabbing pain in lower abdomen right around the belly button.
