Grace Pacific LLC · Struck by falling object

An employee (EE) was working on a haul truck. They removed the access plate located under the windshield of the operator cab, and placed it on the catwalk leaning on the guardrails. When the EE dismounted, they heard something hit the ground behind them and saw a shadow. The EE raised their arms and the panel struck the EE's shoulder and then their head.
