Narrative

An employee was helping another employee manually reposition three 5-inch pipes that were placed awkwardly on a rack. The employees straightened the pipes and returned to their work station. A forklift operator then drove over and attempted to manipulate one of the pipes with the forks. The pipe rolled and crushed the employee's right hand, causing a laceration and muscle damage that required hospitalization.
