Narrative

An operator, needed assistance getting a loader out of the shop. They had a 10ft stand under the lift arm, supporting the bucket. When I went to pull the stand out from under the loader, I injured my back. I felt a sharp pain in my lower back immediately. I laid down for a few minutes, then left work to go to the chiropractor.
