Employee fractures ankle when struck by metal plate

At 7:30 a.m. on October 28, 2021, an employee was using a jib crane with a chain sling attachment to lift a welded plate. The chain sling was wrapped around the plate and, as it was being lifted, a 3-inch piece that had been tack welded broke off causing the apron to slip from the chain and fall. The apron struck the employee causing a fractured left ankle that required hospitalization.
