Narrative

An employee was assisting co-workers with re-lining a steel ladle cover for a ladle that was approximately 12 feet by 14 feet. The ladle was attached to an overhead double girder bridge crane and was suspended off the floor. The ladle lid moved off the crane and landed on the employee's foot, resulting in broken bones.
