Narrative

Two employees were tasked with applying foam grout to the 2940 heading. While on a scissor deck a standpipe was sticking out and obstructing the deck. One of the employees found a ratchet tie-down strap and attempted to use it to pull the standpipe out of the way. While using the strap, the hook ends slipped and rebounded toward the employee, striking them on the left shoulder.
