Narrative

A forklift was being used to install a pin in a dragline bucket's left drag hitch extension. The forklift operator was using the forklift tines to put side pressure on the pin to seat it. The tines slipped off the pin and contacted a scaffold that one employee was standing on. The jarring motion caused pain in the employee's lower back.
