Employee Struck by Piece of Metal

At approximately 3:25 pm on January 21, 2003, Employee #1 and a coworker were cutting pieces of metal into small fragments. Employee #1 was using a blow torch. His coworker then used a fork lift to give Employee #1 another piece to cut. As he approached, a larger piece of metal (measuring 33 feet long and 7.5 feet wide) slipped off the fork lift, bounced off the ground, and struck Employee #1 in his left knee and upper waist, fracturing both. Medical assistance was called, and Employee #1 was treated for his fractures.
