Narrative

Employee was sitting between the blocks while one was being trimmed. The trim piece separated and fell on his legs. There was a ladder lying by him. Co-worker had the guys bring a piece of steel to try and take the pressure off his legs. They brought in a loader and picked up the edge of the block a few inches so they could get his legs out.
