Narrative

At about 9:30 a.m. on March 31, 2021, an employee was backing an order picker through a narrow aisle, carrying empty pallets. The top few pallets struck a box, then struck the uprights of the high rack, and then struck the employee's left leg and pinned it against the order picker. The employee suffered severe contusions.
