Narrative

Employees were raising a structural steel beam (L 27' x W 24" x 104") when it fell striking the injured employee. They were lifting the beam using a beam clamp and a crane to orient it to slide in place to be bolted up. The injured employee's lower left leg was amputated. The employee also sustained serious injuries to the right leg, a bruised hand and a possible fractured cheekbone.
