Narrative

An employee was checking piece numbers on structural steel beams that were stacked one on top of another when a piece of cribbing broke and collapsed the stack of beams. The employee could not get out of the way fast enough and the collapsing steel fell on his leg, pinning it under the beams. He was hospitalized with a broken/fractured right leg.
