Narrative

An employee was preparing a boiler for maintenance. The hatch doors to the boiler were being opened. After opening the left door, the employee began to open the right door; as the employee removed the bolts to open the hatch, the hatch dislodged from the top hanger supporting bracket, fell, and struck the employee's left side. The employee suffered fractures to the skull, collarbone, wrist, and hand, all on the left side.
