Narrative

The injured employee was helping to unload metal tubes from a trailer. A co-worker was operating an overhead crane to lift a bundle of tubes. The load started to go sideways instead of in a straight line. As a result, the injured employee took a step backward and fell to the ground, sustaining two fractured ribs, a fractured right cheekbone, and a concussion.
