Narrative

An employee loaded six TV stands onto a hand truck dolly, each one weighing approximately 38 kilograms. The employee pushed one side of the dolly while his co-worker pushed on the other side of the dolly. The employee lost his footing and fell. The dolly then fell on top of him and the handle pierced his right foot through the tongue of his shoe, resulting in a puncture wound.
