Abstract: Employee #1, a D9H Caterpillar crawler tractor operator, was grading the slope of a hill at the level of a rock bed. As the machine backed up, the left crawler mounted a projecting rock.

Upon medical evaluation, it was diagnosed that Employee #1 sustained minor neck trauma. He was referred to home care.
