Abstract: At 3:30 p.m. on September 25, 1990, Employee #1 was emptying scrap iron from a box on the ground and loading it onto a truck. A piece of metal pierced his work shoe between the leather upper and the sole, penetrating his foot. It became embedded in his foot and Employee #1 was hospitalized on September 28, 1990, for 3 days to remove the piece of steel. Neither a steel-toed boot nor a steel inner sole would have prevented the injury because the steel entered the shoe at the juncture of the upper and the sole.
