Narrative

On Monday, May 16, 2016, at 2:35 p.m., an employee was helping two coworkers and a forklift driver stack wood beams. The driver was holding the forks (which carried 20-foot planks) level. The planks were banded together, and the employee and his coworkers were removing the bands. As they were helping to move the last banded bundle, the load shifted and the final band broke. The planks fell on top of the employee's right leg/foot area, breaking his ankle in two places.
