Narrative

An employee was about to clean a 2,500-pound part from a CNC router. A forklift was preparing to lift the part so its underside could be cleaned. As the forklift adjusted position, it knocked over the part, which tipped onto the employee's leg below the knee. The employee's leg was crushed.
