Narrative

An employee was using a cart to transport a 400 frame motor armature weighing 450 pounds. While moving the armature on the cart, the wheel struck an anti-fatigue mat, causing the cart to tip backward. The armature fell and pinched the employee's right big toe between it and the floor. The employee's right big toe was lacerated and required stitches and hospitalization.
