Narrative

Employee and a co-worker were dismantling/cutting up an old metal catwalk which was supported by a crane with chain slings and an additional chain to prevent excessive swing. The employee cut the last piece of metal; it swung free and hit him in the back of his head and knocked him down. He was assisted immediately and didn't think he needed a doctor.
