Narrative

On April 23, 2016, at 1:00 a.m., an employee was setting a dock board to the back of a trailer. The trailer was not aligned properly with the loading dock bay. As the employee set the dock board, it began to slip. The employee descended from the sliding dock board to the pavement below the loading dock, suffering a compound fracture to his right leg that required hospitalization.
