Final narrative
An employee was helping to demolish a steel support frame for a sand conveyor. The four legs of the support frame were cut just above the concrete base with a welding torch. Once the legs were cut free, the injured employee and two other employees pushed the frame in the direction they wanted it to fall. As the frame was tipping, the injured employee was struck and was thrown up by the frame. The injured employee then landed on the sand ground or a metal object. The employee sustained a fractured hip, requiring hospitalization and surgery.
