## Narrative

At about 9:15 a.m. on August 15, 2019, three employees were removing a spindle used to feed steel coils into manufacturing equipment. The spindle was being lowered to the floor using straps and a bridge crane. When the spindle came to rest on the floor, the load shifted and the tension bar struck one of the employees on the lower legs, knocking him to the concrete floor. He suffered a broken right hip and a broken left ankle and was hospitalized.
