Narrative

An employee entered the back of a semi-trainer to prep for loading. There were approximately five 8' x 10' x 1"-thick sheets of plywood used as dunnage on the previous load that were left on the trailer and needed to be removed. They were stacked on end and secured to the wall of the trailer. The employee untied them in order to move them. The dunnage fell on and injured the employee.
