Narrative

An employee was making a repair to a forklift. The tines of the forklift were elevated in order to access the brackets at the bottom of the backrest. While the employee was loosening one of the brackets, the backrest and tines fell off the forklift, striking the employee's back, legs, and feet. The employee was hospitalized with a fractured left leg that was broken in two places and a laceration to the right foot.
