Narrative

A pallet had been loaded onto a trolley to be picked up for wrapping, but a broken bottom board on the pallet was blocking an entry roller sensor, tripping it and preventing the trolley from moving. An employee removed the board and the trolley began to travel. Her left knee and thigh were lodged between the framing of the trolley and a stationary pallet insert line. She suffered a laceration to the back of the thigh.
