Narrative

An employee was loading a coil that weighed 1,368 lbs. into the feeder for the press using a forklift. The coil was turned the wrong way, so the employee lowered the coil onto the ground so that it was standing up. The employee attempted to turn the coil manually so he could pick it back up with the forklift and in the process of turning it fell on the employee's left leg. The employee was hospitalized for a compound fracture of the left leg.
