## Narrative

An employee was operating a crane with a wireless remote to move a steel beam in order to paint the bottom of the beam. The beam was set on saw horses. The employee clamped on the beam.

The employee suffered two broken bones in their left leg below the knee and one broken bone in their right leg.
