Narrative

Employee was using a loader to load haul trucks. He lowered the bucket and proceeded to move the loader forward to fill the bucket. The bucket came into contact with a large rock that was still partially buried. The contact abruptly stopped the loader, jolting the employee. The employee went to the medical clinic where it was determined that he had a cervical strain.
