Narrative

EE was installing a blade on a Caterpillar 16-G Grader. The chain holding the blade upright slipped off and the blade fell forward. The top edge of the blade struck his left foot just behind the steel toe. He incurred a deep laceration to the top of his foot and fractured three metatarsus bones (big toe and the next two). He is still off from work.
