Narrative

An employee was driving a forklift when the load contacted the overhead lighting, dislodging it from the overhead trusses. The employee then attempted to secure the lighting fixture to prevent it from falling. He used a scissor lift to access the light and was in the process of securing it when he touched the fixture, receiving an electric shock and burns to the left ring finger, as well as left arm numbness.
