Narrative
An employee was using a 60-foot long pole to knock a piece of steel scrap loose from the heating section of a continuous annealer after a strip break when a refractory brick came loose and fell, striking the employee's hard hat and causing a concussion. A second employee sustained a head contusion when the fragmented refractory brick bounced off the first employee's hard hat and struck him in the head. The first employee was hospitalized.
