Narrative

Two employees were injured when they fell to a lower level. The first employee had rigged a draft of pipes in the hatch of a cargo ship and was proceeding to the designated safe area. Before she made it to the safe area, the draft was being picked and started to spin. The second employee saw her freeze up and ran and tackled her before she could be struck by the pipe. They both fell approximately 4 feet. The first employee suffered three broken ribs and a collapsed lung. The second suffered a concussion and head laceration. Both were admitted to the hospital.
