Narrative

While employees were hoisting a piece of steel which had been removed from the S1 Screen, the weld broke on the pick point allowing the piece of steel to fall, ricochet off the screen and strike the EE knocking him to the floor. This impact caused bruising to the upper thigh, minor laceration to the back of head, and minor fracture to the EE's foot.
