Narrative

While erecting the C-3 take-up structure two employees were holding up an 8'x 8' column to have 2 bolts installed by another employee on the ground when they lost their hold on the column. It fell over and struck a support beam that was laying on the ground causing the column to bounce up and the corner of the column hit the employee in the face as EE tried to move out of the way.
