Narrative

On August 27, 2021, an employee was operating a pallet jack at a warehouse distribution facility. He was standing in an aisle, trying to reposition the pallet jack to lift another pallet, when the jack's drive wheels spun on the wet floor. The jack then slid toward him, pinning his leg against a pallet of boxes and causing a laceration to the calf. He was hospitalized.
