Narrative

While preparing a core mold for pouring, an employee used a crane and a lifting fixture to flip the mold. As the mold flipped, a 125-pound portion of the mold fell from the flask and landed on the employee's lower right leg, resulting in hospitalization for closed fractures to the tibia and fibula.
