Narrative

EE was putting a safety brace on a mill door. EE didn't have the 2 pins in place that holds the brace in place causing the brace to fall back striking EE's forehead. EE's hard hat was taken off minutes before the accident and would have most likely taken the hit. Instead, the brace struck EE's forehead.
