## Narrative

An employee was discharging pipe from the vessel located in the hatch of the vessel. He approached a bundle of steel pipe that had just been lifted by a crane. The crane lifts the load high enough for workers to put a strap under the pipe. When the employee approached to throw the strap he stepped on another loose bundle of pipe that rolled onto his left ankle and broke it. He was hospitalized.
