## Narrative

The foreman was standing under a newly constructed supported arch. He was using a rod that he pushed between the arch boards to slide a styrofoam pad on the top for additional cushion. The foreman was looking up and tripped, fell backward and struck the back of his head on a four foot piece of track rail. The CAT scan was negative.
