Narrative

The employee had just removed the arm of a skid steer from a fixture using a chain hoist with a hook and placed the arm on the floor. After the arm was placed on the floor, the employee removed the hook and began raising the hook with the hoist. While raising, the hook caught on the side of the arm causing it to turn over onto the employee's lower left leg and fracture it.
