April 1, 2020 TX · Metal/Non-Metal outside foreman, leadman HANDTOOLS (NONPOWERED)
Wayne Copley Trucking · Over-exertion in pulling or pushing objects

Working with hand tools on Kawasaki 95zv2 wheel loader. I was sitting down on the ground pulling on a 24" break over bar trying to remove a drain plug on the transmission. When the plug broke loose my shoulder pulled back hurting my right shoulder. I had my shoulder X-rayed no broken bones waiting on future test. Light duty work for now.
