## Narrative

EE was operating an 850 Hitachi Excavator in our Marblehead Pit. The employee noticed the engine compartment door had swung open. While walking on the catwalk to close the door, one end of said catwalk broke loose causing the EE to fall to the ground. EE struck EE's head on rocks below which caused a broken orbital bone, broken nose, and loose tooth, with head lacerations.
