Employee was cleaning the plant area, rolled a 2" x ~15' suction hose, and placed on the floor. At the time the hose was placed on the floor he apparently twisted his back. An 11/9/15 physician's report indicates that the employee's diagnosis was "Lumbosacral strain / R Sciatic neuralgia", and states that the employee "is totally incapacitated at this time".
