## Narrative

The employee was installing a discharge cover on a water pump.  Once in position, the employee began to push the housing toward the pump. The pushing movement caused one of the chain hooks to twist allowing the hook to disengage. The housing dropped approximately 2 feet and struck the employee's right foot above the safety toe
