Narrative

An employee was conducting inventory on stove sets. As he climbed onto returnable crates that were more than 12 feet high, he grabbed onto one of the crate's fold-out doors. The door came unlatched, causing the employee to fall onto the concrete floor. He suffered lacerations, fractured ribs, and a partially collapsed lung.
