Industrial Sand Plant Metal/Non-Metal

EE reported to work on 6/25/2019 complaining of a sore and stiff low back. EE felt that working at the gravel bagging station the previous day may have led to a strain of EE's low back.

When the operator, using a torch, attempted to burn an opening to install an idler on the conveyor belt, the flame apparently ignited soot build-up under the conveyor's rain hood from an oil burner that was used to heat the feed hopper.
