Narrative

An employee was using a Johnson bar to inch about 1,800 pounds of electrical equipment. The employee's right foot was on the wheel of the bar to keep it from slipping out of gear. The bar slipped, and the employee's momentum shifted from his right foot to his left. He suffered a broken left tibia and fibula.
