HANDLING OF MATERIALS
Conmat Inc · Over-exertion in lifting objects
The employee was digging with a shovel trying to remove a wooden block that was frozen in the ground. When he went to lift it out, he strained his back. He went to the Immediate care center and returned the next day with work restrictions. As he was laid off and filled in when needed, there wasn't any work available for him when he returned.
