Narrative

An employee was helping a forklift remove a guard structure pole from a pole trailer. As the forklift was picking up the pole from the pole trailer, its forks tilted back. The pole began rolling backwards, and a bolt on it caught the inside of the employee's left safety glove as it rolled, twisting his arm in the process. The employee's left arm was broken, and he was hospitalized.
