## Narrative

The Loader Operator was loading on-road commercial trucks with concrete sand. The operator strained his neck while getting a bucket full of material out of the stockpile. A doctor visit revealed the injury to be a minor strain. The employee was on light duty until 3-9-15. The suspension on the loaders chair was replaced to insure a similar injury does not occur again.
