EE WAS CUTTING A WORN WEAR PLATE FROM A KAWASAKI LOADER BUCKET WITH A CARBON ARCH WELDER. HE CUT ONE SIDE FREE AND STARTED TO CUT THE OTHER SIDE WHEN THE PLATE GAVE WAY AND FELL ON TOP OF HIS RIGHT FOOT JUST BEHIND THE STEEL TOE AREA OF HISBOOT. THERE WAS A SMALL PUNCTURE WOUND AND A FRACTURE OF TWO BONES IN THE FOOT THAT REQUIRED SURGICAL REPAIR.
