Narrative

MTM was assisting changing out a motor. As the motor was being lowered to the pallet, from a lifting jig, the MTM was using a no touch tool to tip the jig and motor on its side to remove the jig. As the MTM was pushing with no touch tool, the MTM felt a burning sensation and discomfort in the groin area.
