From the Safety files: The Wages of Hasty Work: Back Pain A machine's boom was stuck in place with about 400 lb hanging from the crane mounted to it. The worker operating it reached over his head and gave the boom a good, sharp shove. The action was immediately followed by a pain in his back that later radiated into his neck. The boom in question was mounted on the back of a spike-reclaiming machine working on railroad tracks. The machine pulls spikes from the railroad ties
