Narrative

On 3/13/23, employee was preparing to remove monorail on the lw headgate. EE was climbing over the crossover at the tailpiece. As EE went to take the first step down the ladder on the monorail side (tight side), a large rock came out of the LW stageloader chute, bounced off the belt, ricocheted off the ladder framework, and struck EE on the right ankle.
