Narrative

Employee was installing one section of a rolled dozer liner, setting the liner into place and as he moved the plate towards the face of the dozer, the lifting eye that was welded on the top edge of the liner broke free hitting the dozer face, and sliding onto the welder's left foot. X-ray taken on 7/11/12 indicated a non-displaced fracture of a metatarsal bone in left foot.
