Narrative

An employee was standing next to a vertical bagging machine and an incline conveyor. A pallet jack was entering the area and the employee stepped back out of the way. The rear of the pallet jack pushed an empty pallet toward the employee's feet and her left ankle was pushed into the bottom frame of the bagger machine. She sustained lacerations and an Achilles tendon injury that required surgery.
