## Narrative

An employee was stacking lead bottoms (lead blocks) beside the furnace in order for them to be transferred to the cast and alloying department. The employee stacked the blocks one on top of another and unhooked the gantry crane hooks. While raising the gantry crane to reposition it, one of the hooks was caught on the top of the lead block and the block was pulled over onto his feet. Both feet were broken.
