Narrative

An employee was guiding a chiller head as it was being hoisted by a chain hoist. A strap that was used to hang the chain hoist snapped, causing the chain hoist and the chiller head to fall. As it was falling the chiller head hit a section of steam piping and veered off towards the employee, landing on the bridge of his right foot. Four metatarsals were each fractured in two places, requiring hospitalization.
