Narrative

At about 3:00 p.m. on October 28, 2021, an employee was on a work platform, which had been raised by a forklift 8-10 feet off the floor so he could access the control box for an overhead door that had stopped working. A door on the platform swung open and the employee fell backward to the floor, landing on the back left side of his body. He suffered six broken ribs on the left side and was hospitalized.
