Narrative

An employee was moving a forging round to another rack in the extrusion department while an overhead crane was moving an upright I-beam used to separate the rounds on the racks. The I-beam was bumped, causing it to spin on the rigging. A sharp edge on the I-beam lacerated the employee's leg, requiring stitches and hospitalization.
