Narrative

An employee was using an overhead crane to retrieve a pole from the center of a square tube stack, stacked about 3 feet high. She noticed the pole was uneven and positioned herself between the square tube and the pole cart to begin adjusting the sling. As she began to adjust the sling to find the pole's center of gravity, the pole struck the tube and caused it to fall on her lower right leg. Her tibia and fibula were broken.
