THE #5 ROCK CAME FROM THE SHOT IN BIG PIECES. WE WERE BUILDING A RAMP WITH THIS MATERIAL WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. IT STARTED TO RAIN MAKING THE BOULDERS SLIPPERY. EE CLIMBED HIS FRONT TIRE UP ON A BOULDER AND IT SLIPPED OFF THE OTHER SIDE BRINGING THE TRUCK DOWN FAST AND HARD, JARRING AND ROCKING HIM SUDDENLY. THIS MOTION IS WHAT IS SUSPECTED TO HAVE CAUSED THE CERVICAL RADICULOPATHY.

EMPLOYEE EXITED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAB AND AS HE WALKED AROUND THE CORNER LOST HIS BALANCE AND HAD TO SIDE STEP (SHUFFLE HIS FEET) TO THE LEFT AND GRAB FOR THE RAILING. THE RAILING DIDN'T SU PPORT HIS WEIGHT AS THE WELD WAS BROKEN. HE HUNG BY ONE ARM FOR A SECOND BUT COULDN'T HANG ON. HE FELL TO THE GROUND ON HIS RIGHT SIDE INJURING HIS RIGHT SHOULDER.

HE FELL, STRIKING HIS FACE ON THE RIGHT SIDE BREAKING THE ORBITAL BO NE IN TWO PLACES JUST ABOVE THE CHEEK. HE WAS ALSO COMPLAINING OF PAIN IN HIS RIGHT SHOULDER. BOTH FACE AND SHOULDER STRUCK THE LEFT PUSH ARM OF THE DOZER. HE HAD THE FULL NOZZLE IN HIS HAND.

EE REPORTED TO ME THAT WHILE HE WAS BACKING THE D-11N #112 DOZER, HE ROLLED OVER A LARGE ROCK. IT LIFTED THE DOZER, THEN SET IT DOWN WITH A JOLT. HE FELT SOME PAIN IN HIS UPPER BACK, NECK, AND SHOULDER AREA.
