Narrative

The employee was demoing some (RMC) ridgid metal conduit during a weekend shutdown. The employee used Tru-trape to support one end of the conduit while he cut a strap loose with a reciprocating saw. The tru tape broke, causing the RMC to fall on one end and the other end to raise up catching his arm between the RMC and a angle iron brace cutting left arm.
