## Narrative

While operating a D10T Dozer to build a new access road, the employee tracked over a topsail berm upon reaching the bottom of an embankment.  As the dozer crested over the top of the berm, the tracks of the dozer contacted the ground with enough force that the seatbelt restrained operator sustained a lower back strain.
