Narrative

An employee was closing an iron entrance/exit gate to the property. While the employee was sliding the iron gate to a close, the safety mechanism that prevents the iron gate from derailing broke from the support column. At this time, the iron gate derailed and fell on the employee, fracturing her left collarbone and left wrist. She required hospitalization and surgery.
