Narrative

An employee was working on the bed of a truck, moving a drum and then repositioning a pallet jack to be unloaded for charging overnight. The lift gate had been lowered; as the employee walked backward to move the pallet jack, he fell off the end of the truck to the concrete driveway about 3 feet below. He broke his right elbow in five places, also suffering a broken shoulder.
