Narrative

EE was in the process of blocking supply cars in order to place them back on track after they had derailed. He stood up quickly, causing him to strike his head on the steel beam used to support a ventilation door on the track. This caused him to loose his balance and fall, face first, into his 6 ton motor. Sutures required to close laceration above his right eye.
