Bent over to tie EE's shoe and lower back started hurting.
EE was on a forklift getting a roll of poly bags down to take to the packaging line. Prior to doing this the teammate must take the plastic wrap and cardboard off of roll and lay to the side. When EE came back to clean up the trash, got off the lift and squatted to pick up the plastic and felt a pop or something pull in lower back.
Operator was adjusting grippers and while bending he started experiencing minor lower back pain.
