Narrative

Employee 1 had just finished disassembling a metal girder structure on the ground and had removed the bolts from its metal cross brace. Employee 1 then moved to the left side of the structure. Employee 2 was using a skid steer to pick up the metal cross brace. Once the cross brace was on the forks of the skid steer, employee 1's right leg was caught between the cross brace and the metal girder structure. Employee 1 was hospitalized with a fractured right leg, which required surgery to repair.
