Narrative

An employee was welding and repairing a grapple hook on a knuckle boom loader. The lift driver raised the grappler from the ground to reposition it so the employee could continue welding. The grappler then swung swiftly due to being attached to a come-a-long and struck the employee in the left ankle, fracturing and dislocating it. The employee was hospitalized.
