Narrative

An employee exited the building to go to the back patio and the door locked behind him. To re-enter the building, he attempted to climb a security fence. The employee became caught up in the fence's barbed wire and fell to the ground, landing on his back and right side. He was hospitalized with three broken ribs, a bruised lung, and lacerations and scratches.
