Narrative

An employee was operating an overhead crane and loading I-beams into the camber machine. The camber machine bends the steel I-beam by securing the ends of the beam and applying hydraulic pressure to the center. The employee was approximately 6 to 8 feet to the side of the machine waiting to load another beam when one of the blocks that secure the ends of the I-beam failed. The block ejected from the camber machine and struck the employee, fracturing the lower left arm in two places.
