Narrative

Employee was attempting to remove a masonry pallet from the palletizer at the pallet pusher in the process of changing from masonry to a portland packing scenario. Lifting the pallet over the pallet guide rail to remove it from the line, she believes the pallet edge caught the safety lanyard which made one corner drop striking left knee and pulling lower back.
