Narrative

An employee was unloading steel parts from a storage bin, which was about 4 x 8 x 3 feet. During the unloading process, the weight in the bin shifted and the edge lowered onto the employee's right boot, smashing his right pinky toe and resulting in a partial amputation. He was wearing steel-toe boots at the time.
