Narrative

An operator was operating a loader to help clean up one of the site roadways due to excessive rain over the weekend. The operator ran over a rock that caused the loader cabin to rock. This rocking motion resulted in a lower back strain/backache. The operator was seen by the local ER and placed on restricted duty.
