Narrative

EE was working on connecting two pieces of 12""x8' pipeline. EE attempted to move a retaining collar to one end of the piece for connection, the pipe was elevated. EE was in a kneeling position while attempting to move the ring. As EE pulled on the ring, the ring became wedged on the rubber stopping it. The force of the stop caused EE to sprain lower back.
