Narrative

The operator was utilizing the reed screen during work shift. At 12:30 pm the operator went to shut the screen off for the day. The operator approached the screen shutting the shake feature of the screen off. In doing so the operator removed their hard hat to get a better look at the hour meter of the engine and a rock vibrated off, hitting them in the head.
