Narrative

An employee and a co-worker were preparing to remove a load of mesh from a flatbed. After releasing the ratchet strap that was being used to secure the mesh, the tension on the strap caused the mesh to shift and fall toward the employee. The employee was pushed into a panel behind him, resulting in a fractured left index finger, C5 and C7 spinal fractures, and possible nerve damage.
