Narrative

Employee was working from a walk platform. As the platform is designed to fold up, the weight of the employee standing on the edge caused the platform to fold unexpectedly pinching his left leg at shin height between the platform and a metal structural brace. He suffered a 1"" laceration to his left shin that required 2 sutures.
