Narrative

Employee was using a fence post driver to pound a fence post into the ground. EE lifted the post driver too high, and it came off the fence post. The driver went above EE's head, and EE lost EE's balance. EE fell down and the driver hit EE in the head. It took a little skin off EE's head, and EE was diagnosed as having a concussion when EE went to the ER.
