Narrative

An employee was using an overhead crane to move a 3/8" thick, 3' x 10' piece of steel plate. There was a chain on the crane hook, which was attached to an eye bolt for moving the steel plate. The steel plate came off the crane hook, bounced off of a bench, and struck the employee in the leg. The employee was hospitalized with a broken leg and had surgery.
