Narrative

Employees were attempting to secure a vertical member of a truss wall with chain hoists. While EE was tightening the AMH 2-1/4 ton chain hoist a chain link failed. When it failed, the chain hoist mechanism came back and hit EE on the right foot. EE was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with two broken toes.
