## Narrative

On November 8, 2021, an employee had finished dipping a bundle of steel joists in a paint tank and had set it to dry on top of a stack of bundles using a 10-ton overhead crane. While the employee was walking to get the overhead crane's hook to move the next bundle, the bundle he had just moved fell, causing him to become caught between the bundle and the paint tank. The employee suffered a broken left femur and was hospitalized.
