I was pulling frozen pipe out of the ground or pulling on the hose while loading. (repetitive motions) and I felt a slight discomfort in my forearm. The next day I noticed to be much sorer and more fatigued than normal in my arm and after the shift I noticed a lump/ball on my forearm the size of almost two gumballs.

HANDLING OF MATERIALS
Rawson Materials · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object
A tail pulley guard was being removed to perform maintenance. The guard was stuck in place due to frozen dirt. The team removed what they could of the frozen material using force to remove the guard the rest of the way. As the guard became free, EE's thumb was caught between the guard and the frame. There was reason to believe EE may have broken EEs left thumb.
