Narrative

Employee was replacing a blown hose on a CAT D-11 Dozer and had to drop the front belly pan in the process. The belly pan was supported by a strap which became fouled, creating slack, and allowing the belly pan to drop 6"" - 8"". The belly pan struck the victim in the head, resulting in a laceration that required suturing.
