## Narrative

A scaffold was being dismantled in the clinker cooler at the kiln discharge (riser duct). A piece of buildup from the kiln nose fell and struck EE in the back of EE's hard hat. EE climbed down the scaffold and laid on the ground beside the scaffold refusing treatment until the EMT's arrived.  EMS took EE to the hospital, and diagnosed with a slight concussion and released.
