Narrative

The injured employee was on the ground level receiving an OSB board from a co-worker who was on a 10-foot-high catwalk. The board was 4 feet by 25 feet and weighed approximately 270 pounds. As it was being slid down a handrail by a crew of three employees, the board went over the rail and landed on the injured employee's left foot, resulting in a fracture.
