## Narrative

While dismantling a hopper, employee was injured. While cutting loose a beam from the hopper, the hopper sank into the soft ground catching their left foot and injuring the ankle. The parts being cut loose were being supported by a forklift to limit incidents of falling material. The soft ground caused by recent rain fall was the prime factor in this incident.
