Narrative

On January 26, 2017, at approximately 12:45 PM, an employee was injured while pulling crates of milk from the energized floor track. A stack of product cases became hung up on the floor track. Using a metal hook, the employee attempted to unjam the cases. The track popped up and caught the employee's left ankle between the track and the metal side barrier on the track resulting in a broken ankle. The employee was hospitalized for surgery.
