Narrative

Maintenance was removing a brake valve in the center joint on shovel 425. Employees lowered the valve down on the frame pedestal, and disconnected the come-along to adjust the rigging. While re-hooking the straps the valve fell to the ground. The hoses caused it to spring back, contacted the ladder below EE's feet. The sudden movement caused a strain to EE's right shoulder.
