Narrative

An employee was installing a steel plate on an inner-bottom using an overhead crane. As the employee lifted the steel plate with the crane, it became wedged between two steel frames. He continued applying lifting force with the crane and the plate sprang loose, striking him the face. He suffered multiple facial injuries, including trauma, a broken nose, an eye socket fracture, and a skull fracture.
