Narrative

Cat 777D end dump was being loaded by an EX1900 Hitachi. Hitachi operator was blinded by the sun momentarily and the bucket of the backhoe hit the back of the end dump jarring the end dump operators neck. He was diagnosed with muscle spasms and a muscle strain of the neck and received two days of at home rest starting 3/1/11. This met the criteria for an MSHA recordable.
