## Narrative

An employee was standing in front of a forklift carrying several 2,000-pound "logs" of aluminum. The logs were banded together; when the employee cut the banding so they could be unloaded, one of them rolled onto the employee's foot. The employee's steel safety toe collapsed, and the employee's toes and metatarsals were crushed. Part of the foot was medically amputated.
