518 - AVERT

At a quarTER past ten, there was a great bang as the fire grate the builders were manoeuvring fell off the crane crashing into its crate, making the site manager very irate. "No-one is to stare at this but get back to their work", he shouted. Fortunately there was no sting in the tail of this mishap with the grate surviving intact and with the crate needing to be broken apart anyway. On pondering the event, the site manager realised that it could have been a lot worse, so he decided to treat everyone to an ice cream. But he would have to think up a plan for how to avert something like that happening again.
