## Narrative

A winch drum was sitting on top of a piece of angle iron to keep it elevated. An employee was laying beneath the angle iron, blowing sand off the drum to prep for painting. He then used the drum to pull himself up from the ground. One side of the drum shifted and fell on him, lacerating his left cheek, right thumb, and behind his right ear and breaking his jawbone and right thumb.
