Narrative

While employees were loading a shipping container with 2,200-pound tote bags of peanuts, an employee walked into the container to place a slip sheet on the floor. Before the employee exited the container, a forklift operator drove a forklift with a loaded tote bag into the container. The forklift set the tote bag down on the employee's leg, fracturing the leg, ankle, and toes. The employee was hospitalized overnight.
