Narrative

An employee and his crew were loading steel coils onto a barge for shipment. As a coil was being lowered onto the saddle-shaped dunnage, the employee used his right foot to adjust the position of the dunnage board. He missed the board and the coil came down on top of the steel-toed cap of his boot, which collapsed onto his right toes. His big-toe nailbed was crushed and his second toe was fractured. His third and fourth toes were surgically amputated just below the nailbed.
