Narrative

The employee was standing on the top of the heavy media cyclone pump overflow box. During this time a fellow employee was tramming the overhead hoist across the plant. The frame of the overhead crane struck the victim, wedging him against a six inch plastic pipe. The six inch plastic pipe broke from its restraint, causing the victim to fall to the floor below.
