Narrative

An employee was standing on a 14-inch, 60-foot-long, 73-pound-per-foot H-pile lying on dunnage. A rough-terrain forklift was being used to move a 6-inch, 12-foot-long channel on its forks. The end of the channel clipped the end of the H-pile, causing it to roll off the dunnage and strike the employee's lower leg. The employee suffered fractures to the lower leg and ankle, with no open wounds.
