Abstract: Employee #1 was attempting to pry a heavy steel machine part back into its proper position using a crow bar. He placed the flanged end of the crow bar against a steel brace as a fulcrum and pushed with his entire weight against the other end of the crow bar. The flanged end slipped off the fulcrum, propelling the employee face first into the edge of the vertical steel corner brace on the machine. The blow shattered most of his facial bones and drove his nose cartilage up into his brain. He died almost instantly.
