## Narrative

The injured employee was waiting for rigged up material to be taken away by the crane. A second employee lifted rebars with a forklift. Some rebars were under an H-type steel beam weighing 2500 lbs. and when lifted they tipped the steel beam over on to another beam next to it in a domino effect motion. The beam struck the injured employee and fractured both lower legs.
