Narrative

Employee was kneeled down plugging in an air hose. Employee then raised up and turned to leave, running headlong into the frame of a conveyor. Hard hat took the brunt of the impact, but it is suspected that their reaction of jerking their head backwards to try to avoid or lessen the impact caused whiplash to their neck.
