Narrative

The injured employee was performing a parts inventory. Four parts-bins were being moved with a forklift by another employee. One of the bins collapsed and the load shifted. The upper bins fell, striking the injured employee and causing lacerations to the face requiring stitches, abrasions to the left side of the back, and fractures to the left scapula, one left rib, and the left clavicle.
