Abstract: At 12:40 p.m. on February 5, 2019, an employee torch cut an approximately twenty-five foot long by thirty inch high steel I-beam at the middle of the beam. When the ends separated, one side swung down, caught the employee's left, lower leg between the I-beam and another section of scrap metal, and pinned the employee between the two pieces of metal. The employee was taken to a local hospital to treat a fracture of the lower left leg (tibia and fibula).
