Narrative

An employee was preparing two 12-inch by 40-foot pieces of channel iron to be marked and drilled. The two pieces were on work stands; while the employee was moving them closer together, they fell over, bounced off the stands, and struck the employee's lower left leg. He suffered a fracture to the leg, just above the ankle.
