Black Rock Services LLC · Struck by falling object

EE was changing a conveyer belt, when a rock fell from an unknown location striking the conveyer frame. This rock then bounced up and struck EE on the right side of EE's head below EE's hard hat. EE started to feel dizzy so EE was driven to the urgent care by a coworker where EE was diagnosed with a concussion. Proper lock out/tag out was being utilized.
