Narrative

While checking out the tail roll on the #12 belt due to a conveyor/chute plug up a rock fell off of the catwalk above him striking him on the side of the head. This incident was a result of a plug up which caused limestone material to back up in the chute and therefore spill onto the catwalk above.
