Narrative

Two employees were performing preventive maintenance on an elevator table device used for stacking and palletizing totes. One employee was adjusting a braking mechanism/motor while the other was below the table. The braking mechanism was accidentally released, causing the table to fall on the second employee and pinning him below. He suffered a fractured pelvis.
