Narrative

The injured employee was on the ground level while other employees were tarping a hole at the facility. A cinder block (5-8 pounds) fell approximately 10 feet from a building due to the high winds and damage from a hurricane. The employee was looking upward at the roof and the concrete block struck the employee's hard hat, knocking it off and hitting him in the face and left hand. The employee fell backward and struck the back of his head on the concrete floor. The employee sustained contusions to his lip, jaw, and left hand and a traumatic brain injury, and he required staples to the back of their head.
