## Narrative

Two employees were trying to get a cardboard sheet from behind 24 pieces of cold-rolled steel sheets that were leaning against a wall. One employee was supporting the sheets from the front as the other was removing the cardboard. The sheet metal started to tip forward, knocking the first employee to the floor and causing an injury to her right ankle that included broken bones, cut tendons and nerves, and a partial amputation.
