## Narrative

While observing the air dryer control panel, the Maintenance Planner turned and struck EE's shin on a cinder block that EE's assistant had been using to sit on.  Due to the Planner's age and existing health conditions, a two-inch skin tear occurred which required seven stitches to stop the bleeding.
