Narrative

An employee was on top of a 30-yard roll-off box that was loaded with pallets, trying to remove the pallets from the sides so that he could tarp the box. As he tried to dislodge a pallet that was sticking up out of the top of the box, it suddenly came free. He stumbled backward, then fell off the box to the ground, suffering a cut on the left side of the head and a concussion.
