An employee was completing a sensor replacement on an air-cooled chiller unit and went to sit on a 5-gallon bucket during a rest break. He experienced sudden stiffness in his left knee, causing him to fall backward and strike his back on a pipe hanger. The employee sustained three broken vertebrae in their lower back.
