Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on September 14, 2020, Employee #1, a maintenance technician at a senior apartment building, was replacing a toilet in a unit when he felt pain in his lower back. With the assistance of another employee, he removed the old toilet and lifted the new one into position. After setting the new toilet, the employee experienced further strain in his back and was unable to lift anything else. He was transported to the emergency department for evaluation, where an MRI revealed a herniated disc that compressed the cauda equina (spinal nerve bundle). The employee was hospitalized.
