While carrying parts from the garage and loading them onto the truck, Employee #1 stepped on a 20 in. wide, 10 ft long piece of valley metal for a roof rain gutter. Stepping on it with the heel of his shoe caused the metal to come up and cut the back of his left leg, above the top of his hightop safety shoe. Employee #1's achilles tendon was cut. No safety violations were cited.
