Assigned to loading sheets of plywood to be picked up by our supplier. Some sheets were to be loaded by hand and then banded together using a machine for that and finally loaded on a truck using a forklift.

Employee was lifting the bander onto a work van and experienced abdominal pain. Then drove to M-8 where he continued to work and that included moving some sheets of plywood. This apparently aggravated the initial injury.
