Narrative

Employee was moving an overhead crane that had a 2 leg sling on hook. One leg of the sling hooked an original safety tie off cable (not used) located above the rod mill. The cable was attached to a hand rail and the cable pulled the hand rail off. The hand rail then struck the employee on the front of the hard hat, knocking him to the concrete floor.
