H & H Rock Inc · Over-exertion in pulling or pushing objects

Employee was attempting to remove a bolt from the top of the hydraulic tank on the drill, so the tank could be filled with hydraulic fluid. As the employee positioned the socket and ratchet on the bolt, they attempted to loosen the bolt, and as they applied pressure, they felt a pop and immediate pain in their bicep area of their arm.
