## Narrative

Two employees were making alterations to a steel plate (80 by 100 inches, weighing about 1,000 pounds) that sat over the top of a circulating pump. They had lifted the plate with a magnet, slid it slightly off the edge of the pump's surface, and then used a torch to cut pieces of steel off. When the magnet was released, the plate came down on an employee's right foot and fractured it.
