## Narrative

The employee was manually operating a GOAB switch when an overhead porcelain insulator broke into multiple small pieces. One piece fell and knocked off the employee's hard hat. A second piece fell and made contact with the right side of EE's head, near the hairline, resulting in a laceration that required medical glue for treatment.
