Narrative

On July 16, 2021, at 11:30 a.m., an employee was standing on a truck's trailer adjusting a load of steel parts that were to be hauled to a scrap yard. The load shifted and the employee jumped off the trailer to the concrete approximately 4 to 5 feet below to avoid being injured by the shifting load. The employee suffered a fractured right heel and fractured left knee that required hospitalization.
