## Narrative

An employee was in a trench box (near the ladder, about 5 feet inside the box) when a large boulder of dirt fell immediately outside the box. Some of the dirt rolled into the end opening of the box, striking the employee on his heel as he tried to get away and knocking him down to the ground. As he fell, his head struck a T-valve, resulting in contusions to his head and face area. He was hospitalized.
