Narrative

An employee was welding near a bin of parts that was stored at an angle to provide better reach for employees when a fork truck came up behind the bin of parts to move another bin. The forks hit the bin behind the employee and the bin tipped over, hitting and fracturing the employee's leg. The employee was hospitalized.
