Narrative

A temporary employee was spotting a forklift that was loading cable reels (weighing 5,000-7,000 pounds) onto a trailer. The employee tried to position a chock under a secondary reel while their hand was under the primary reel being staged, and the primary reel rolled over their left hand and damaged an artery. The employee was hospitalized.
