Narrative

An employee was using a forklift to move a metal frame divider/welding blind. The employee had partially lifted the divider (blind) and then exited the forklift to push over the divider onto its side. The blind slid on the forks and tipped upwards causing one of the support legs on the blind stand to contact the employee's left ribs. He sustained fractured ribs and a hemothorax.
