Narrative

An employee was assisting in the removal of a filter dryer assembly from a support stand. The filter dryer was attached to an overhead crane during the time the mounting bolts were being removed from the support stand. Once the filter dryer was completely disconnected from the support stand, the unit became top-heavy and tipped over onto the employee causing a fracture to their right foot and lacerations to their upper right arm and upper back.
