Narrative

EE was struck by 5 ft steel prybar while walking down stairway from cooler to basement. The pry bar was dislodged when kicked by another employee who lost footing while using another prybar to position a section of moveable cooler wall. This resulted in the bar leaving the cooler, clearing the external walkway & striking the injured EE on left shoulder as he descended the stairway.
