## Narrative

EE was working on a loader that had its cab & transmission removed.  He was where the transmission had been, cleaning the area. He raised an access panel on the hood to give himself more room. His hard hat fell off.  He stood to replace it, the wind blew the access panel shut striking him in the head before he could replace his hard hat.  He required 4 stitches, 1 day off work.
