Narrative

I lifted a stone from the conveyor belt that weighed about 100 pounds to place it on the pallet, and I immediately felt a crack in my back. I told the material handler about the accident & asked the material handler to let the supervisor know. I continued working slowly and after I took my lunch break and went back to the work area, the pain in my back was worse.
