## Narrative

IE and another EE (Transco NW welders) were removing a channel frame from the crusher frame. IE cut the cross brace 99% & other EE held the other side. When EE pushed the opposite side while IE pulled IE's side free, the cross brace came free & EE lost EE's grip. The brace rotated 180 degrees and the bottom corner struck IE on the right side of nose.
