Narrative

An employee was walking next to a ramp while a forklift was bringing a 10-foot wooden crate down the ramp. The crate's door swung open; the employee was trying to close it when the forklift began moving backward. The employee's right arm was caught between the door and a metal beam, causing a substantial laceration near the elbow.
