## Narrative

A miner was positioning a 2-15/16"" x 58"" long steel shaft in a band saw for cutting, when the supporting saw horse fell over due to the force exerted to move the heavy steel shaft, which then fell to the shop concrete floor, striking the right foot of the miner. The right foot was broken, resulting in the employee being restricted to ground level work only (no driving).
