Narrative

A 20-foot tapered I-beam was positioned on a fixed conveyor that is approximately 12 inches off the ground. The beam was placed on the conveyor behind the spray paint booth after it was painted before moving it to the yard. The beam shifted and pinned the injured employee's right leg between the beam and the conveyor. The leg was fractured.
