Using a crane, an employee set a fuel tank down on jack stands. He unhooked the rigging on the north side of the tank. He turned around and stepped away from the tank while using the crane control to raise the hoist hooks. The rigging on the south end of the tank was still attached to the crane. The tank slid on the jack stands and struck the employee on the back of his legs and knocked him to the floor. The tank came to rest on his feet. The employee sustained bruised feet and a sprained tendon in the left foot.
