Narrative

EE states while working on a skid steer, he was in a kneeling position, with the door to the engine compartment propped open with a drill steel. The steel was knocked out and as the door swung shut, it made contact with the EE's hard hat. The hat pushed against his left ear causing a laceration that required two sutures.
