Narrative

The employee was at the laydown yard picking up wood poles to load onto a trailer for some work later. While operating the grapple truck, he picked up two wood poles and as he adjusted the poles to fit onto the trailer, the poles fell. One pole fell to the ground. The other pole struck the employee while he was seated on the machine. The pole glanced off his hard hat and hit his left shoulder and cut the left side of his neck.
