Narrative

Guys were cleaning in an area with buildup After cleaning a significant amount of the material, there remained a fairly large chunk that was attached to the wall. EE was using a pistol grip jackhammer with an approx. 3 foot long bit to knock down the buildup. The entire chunk came down and either directly or indirectly made contact with EE's instep(above the steel toe).
