Archie Perry (Steel Bender), Mr. Enoch Freeman (Steel Bender) and Mr. Benedict (Steel Bender) have started manual
unloading of “loose bundled U shape steel bars (8mm thickness with 12meters in length)” from the trailer to the
designated location on instruction from site supervisor Mr. Hayatul Mondal due to unavailability of crane (which
supposed to be get used for mechanical unloading).

While unloading the steel from the trailer at about 15 45 Hrs; due to misjudgment among the crew, one of the steel bars
got slipped on ground from one steel bender’s hand and due to sudden jerk (due to vibratory motion) to the steel bar,
one end of the steel got swing back and moved just near to the face of Mr, Benedict.
