Narrative

An employee was helping to rig a spanner beam to a form so the gantry crane could lift it. One side of the beam was unshackled. The crane operator reeled in the crane, and the un-shackled side of the spanner beam became dislodged from the form's lifting lug. The beam then flipped off the form and fell on the nearby employee's foot and ankle, breaking them.
