Narrative

An employee was distributing parcels for delivery. The dock door was propped open with a pallet and the employee proceeded to unload parcels and carry them inside the building. The door started closing and the employee lunged toward the dock door to catch it. The employee then tripped on the pallet and fell forward onto the concrete dock resulting in a possible broken orbital bone and fracture to the mandible as well as a bruised forearm and bruised elbows.
