Narrative

Employee was scaling loose rock after setting the ATRS against the top when a piece of loose material dislodged from the roof behind him. The material pushed his hard hat down hitting his safety glasses causing a small cut on the bridge of his nose and caused him to bite his lip which required 3 dissolvable stitches on the inside. The cut on his nose was glued.
