Narrative

At the start of the shift, the EE was operating track mounted vehicle to his section. As the vehicle went through the 2nd set of airlock doors, an unsecured lid over the traction motor compartment slid out of place and contacted the right support of the airlock door. The lid sprung foward hitting EE and pushed his face into the cover over the contactor compartment of vehicle.
