Narrative

An employee was operating a bag machine. A forklift placed a pallet on the conveyor. When the forklift pulled back out, the pallet tipped and a plastic roll (weighing approximately 1000 lbs.) fell off the pallet, pinning the employee's leg between the work station and the conveyor. The employee sustained a hematoma to the lower leg.
