Supervisor was changing out chemical at wash plant and got it into place. It wasn't square on the stand so they had employees rig chain around top of cage and tried to square it up. The cage broke and two employees tried to stop it and one got a cut on their finger that required 2 stitches and the other got a severe wrist sprain. Neither will miss a scheduled day of work.
