EE was adjusting the tension on a conveyor belt. This is done by using a large wrench to turn an adjusting nut. There was an accumulation of water and mud at the end of the belt. The worker stood to the side so he would be out of the mud and adjusted the belt. He had to apply more force than usual, probably due to the awkward position. He felt a burning sensation in his back.
