A mill mechanic was attempting to transfer a 220lb plate from saw horses to a service cart for transport. As the mechanic was sliding plate on to back of cart the saw horse toppled over transfering substantial weight to the employee's grip. The weight of the steel plate caused a strain of the left bicep.
