## Narrative

Employee was mucking on a blasted round when his loader bucket made contact with the toe of the foot wall rib causing the loader to articulate towards the hanging wall rib. The employee was jolted back in his seat and the back of his hard hat contacted the hanging wall, resulting in a neck strain. X-rays were negative, but restrictions were issued.
