## Narrative

Employee was removing steel grating in the Flotation Bldg.  He rigged the hoist hook to the connecting rod of the grating and bumped the hoist up.  Not knowing that the grating was not free, he bumped the hoist again, causing the connecting rod to break.  The hoist hook released from the grating and struck him in the left hand, causing a cut and a hairline fracture.
