Narrative

Employee stated that he was operating a dozer scaling the highwall. He was prying on a rock with the dozer blade, when the blade slipped off and hit the highwall. This stopped the dozer and caused a whiplash effect. Went to doctor on 5/29/09 and on 6/9/09 missing two shifts work, thus reportable.
