Employee was replacing the drive belt on the shaker of the rock washer and sizing plant. Some the rock had fallen from the shaker onto the walkway. Employee slipped on the rock and began to loose his balance, he then reached out and grabbed a brace on the shaker. His shoulder felt a little sore but seemed ok. The next morning his right shoulder was stiff and sore.

Employee suffered a stroke while preparing to leave work at the end of the day. He was found unconcious and unresponsive sitting in the Cat D7 dozer (by a Ready Mixed Concrete employee) where he had parked the dozer at the end of the shift.
