Struck by falling object

Two Mobile Equipment Mechanics were removing the old cutting blades from a yard loader with a torch. They did not have it blocked from underneath as they have been instructed. When the steel fell, it bounced/ricocheted onto mechanic's foot. Both employees were disciplined for unsafe work practices.
