Narrative

On November 01, 2017, at approximately 3:45 p.m., an employee was helping to unload materials at a receiving dock. The employee was next to a pallet of columns measuring approximately 10 feet long and approximately 6 feet high. A forklift operator was on the opposite side of the columns and manipulating them when the pallet and columns tipped over, causing the employee to fall between the trailer and a guard system. He hit the concrete approximately 4 feet below, fracturing his neck and back.
