## Narrative

Mechanic opened the right side of a double door to the atomizer feed pump pit and stepped inside. Several seconds later a short section of purlin with attached metal siding broke loose and fell striking the employee in the back of his hard hat and upper right back. This caused the employee to move forward at which time his right lower leg came in contact with a platform.
