Narrative

EE was pulling a Wright dump hopper from under the Clinker Cooler. While navigating through the ""I"" beams the hopper struck the edge of a beam causing the hopper to stop suddenly. EE's momentum continued backwards while gripping the hopper during which they heard a pop in left shoulder. EE immediately felt sharp pain in their shoulder/neck and reported it to a Supervisor.
