Narrative

Employee was operating a scoop in last open break. When he backed up he caught the canopy on the rib and a section fell into the deck striking his left shoulder. He was complaining of pain in his left shoulder and arm. When he realized he was against the rib instead of pulling up and repositioning he tried to continue in reverse.
