Narrative

Two employees were using pry bars installing a rail onto a series of track ties. When force was applied to the rail, the pry bar slipped out of one employee's hands causing the weight of the rail to shift onto the bar the other was using, causing the bar to slip out of his hand striking him on the right foot. X-ray showed no broken bones. He began missing work 7/9/07.
