Narrative

While beginning to mark a turned block, employee noticed a chunk of stone debris attached to the side of the block. Employee used left foot to stomp downward on excess piece. Excess piece was barely attached & fell easily but downward momentum & lack of resistance by the stone caused employee to lose balance, falling down onto block landing on right shoulder.
