Narrative

Employees were removing steel plate and rebar from a pallet that was raised on a forklift. The supervisor instructed the forklift operator to lower the pallet. Instead, the operator moved the forklift back as the supervisor was removing a piece of rebar. The rebar dislodged a piece of plate which fell onto the assisting employee's foot.
