Narrative

At 6:30 p.m., an employee was placing expired and damaged cartons of milk onto a rolling container from a backroom cooler. The employee was pushing the container out to a truck when it began to lean sideways. As the employee attempted to catch the container and push it back up, her legs slipped and she fell, resulting in a torn ligament in her right leg that required hospitalization.
