## Narrative

EE was using a cart to haul boiler tubes. The surface was smooth/flat concrete, slag/ash had fallen off the tubes while loading them on the cart. slag/ash prevented the wheels from freely moving in the intended direction while being pushed. This resulted in the cart tipping to one side. the EE stopped the cart from tipping, in doing so the EE strained the muscles of EE's left arm.
