Narrative

Two employees were at the coal barn installing a wing shroud (steel plate) on a dragline bucket. The upper piece was set in place and the crane was lowered. Both employees were going to adjust the piece of steel plate by hand when it fell. It slid down the side of the bucket, hit the ground and fell over hitting the employee breaking two Metatarsal bones in EE's right foot.
