Narrative

Two employees were in a combustion chamber cutting braces to remove a 200-pound, X-shaped brace/stiffener. They cut the braces/stiffeners on three of the four corners and then slightly cut the bottom brace to be able to push the brace over and snap the bottom weld. While the brace was being pushed over, it twisted and struck the injured employee in the shin. The employee sustained fractures to their tibia and fibula.
