## Narrative

An employee was lifting a 5,000-pound steel plate with a small ground hoist that was rated for 7,500 pounds. The plate suddenly lowered down onto the employee's lower leg, causing him to fall to the ground. The plate rested on the side of his right foot, resulting in two bone fractures. He was hospitalized and had surgery.
