Narrative

An employee was attempting to put a clevis on a section of fiberglass walls stored on a cart. The sections are used to make cooling towers. The employee moved a piece to clear the clevis and approximately 10-12 4'x30' sections fell over and struck the employee on his left femur. The employee was knocked to the ground and the pieces landed on his leg. He sustained a broken left femur that required surgical repair.
