Narrative

Taking old toggle seat out of the jaw plant to change it and it was heavier than expected. The seat got stuck, another employee wiggled it to get it loose and when it broke free it fell and the employee that was hurt could not hold it and it came down on the employees leg making a small laceration on left leg.
