Narrative

On the afternoon of 6/03/2015, at approximately 1:20pm, the employee was attempting to load a coil of steel that weighted approximately 378 pounds onto a forklift. The steel coils are stored in a rack that resembles a bicycle rack. She went to turn the coil away from the rack so that it could be picked up by the forklift. She lost control of the steel coil, it tipped over, and struck her right upper leg resulting in a broken bone. She was admitted to the hospital for surgery on 6/04/2015.
