While scaling rock in a raise from a work platform. A rock roughly 5" to 9" fell and entered the work deck striking employee on the right foot. Raise is on a 72 degree angle and the rock fell from the area they were scaling.
EE was standing at the bottom of an unoccupied manway preparing to survey the area. As EE looked up, EE was unable to shine the light upward far enough to see the area. EE removed hard hat and was holding it in EE's hand while shining the light upward when a rock struck EE on the side of the head.
