An employee was moving a 20-foot-long steel beam using an overhead crane. After lowering the beam onto dunnage wood, the employee unhooked it and began to move the crane. The crane's lifting attachment, which had not been fully removed, lifted the beam and caused it to roll toward a nearby pile of steel. The beam pushed the employee into the pile of steel and he suffered a broken leg.
