Narrative

As the EE was helping to change screens the lifting hook came off of the anchorage point and the screen struck the EE on the head. The EE was wearing a hard hat minimizing the injury. This incident occurred on Wednesday June 18, but the EE did not seek medical attention until Friday June, 20 and was placed on modified duty at that time, hence making this a reportable incident.
