Narrative

At about 11:30 a.m. on October 14, 2021, an employee was guiding a forklift as it loaded 16-foot metal shoring plates (weighing 720 pounds each) onto the back of a truck. One of the plates began to slide off the forks of the forklift and struck the employee on the back of the leg, resulting in a fractured ankle.
