Narrative

Employee was in the quarry pit area setting off a shot and there was flying rock from the shot. EE was running to get away from flying rock when he slipped and fell due to the ground being wet from rainy conditions. There is usually never any flying rock from shots, but the wet conditions hindered the shot. EE suffered a strain in his left upper leg.
