Narrative

An employee was using a tablet to track material received at the facility. The material consisted of nine rings held together with nuts and bolts, with each ring weighing approximately 850 pounds. The employee entered the nested material to verify the sizes. When he stood up, the material shifted and fell onto his left leg, resulting in a laceration to his left calf, along with ligament damage and a fracture to his lower left leg.
