Narrative

Employee was operating a scoop loaded with a LW shield. EE lowered the bill but failed to release the winch. This caused the shield tip to raise. The shield tip caught the scoop canopy, caused it to raise and slide off the side of the scoop. The light caught the employee's hardhat forcing their head down and backwards. No compliance, PPE or protective device issues.
