Narrative

On May 14, 2021, at approximately 8:30 a.m., an employee was performing sandblasting operations on the inside rear of a trailer. The trailer was secured to a fixture that allows the trailer to be rotated in order to access different parts of the trailer frame. The counterweight had not been added to the frame or fixture and when the employee began to rotate the trailer, the trailer swung down and collided with their left ankle. The employee was hospitalized for an acute displaced fracture of the left tibia and fibula.
