Narrative

On February 9, 2023, an employee was using an overhead crane to remove a bundle of cold finish rounds (steel bars) from a vertical storage pan to place the bundle on a work table for packaging and shipment. The storage pan was on the forks of a forklift parked near the work table. The end of the bundle was raised approximately 3 feet above the pan when the chain slipped off allowing the bundle to fall back into the pan. This caused the pan and bundle to fall off the forklift. The edge of the pan scraped down his shin and landed on his left foot. The employee was hospitalized with a broken foot.
