## Narrative

While taking down a duct run for the dust collector, EE was removing the final hanger when the chain fall anchor pulled out of the concrete. The duct then spun and struck EE as it fell. Four chain falls had been installed to support the duct. When the duct spun, the anchor for the fourth chain fall also pulled out of the concrete ceiling.
