Narrative

An employee was working from a set of portable metal stairs, cleaning ammunition rounds with a drill brush. The wheel from a cart struck the stairs as the cart was pulled forward, causing the employee's leg to slip off the stairs and be caught between the stairs and a bollard. The employee suffered a broken tibia and fibula and was hospitalized.
