Narrative

An employee was operating a powered industrial truck (PIT) and removing a stack of pallets from a trailer. While exiting the trailer, the rear of the trailer dipped increasing the distance between the dock plate and the trailer floor. This caused the PIT to land in the dock pit and the employee was thrown from the PIT. The employee suffered three broken ribs and a bruised liver.
