Narrative

An employee was operating a forklift to remove a pipe from the lower section of a pipe rack. Once the employee had the pipe on the forks, the employee parked the forklift and walked to the load to center it. Another pipe then shifted off the forks and fell, pinning the employee between the pipe and an ingot up ender behind him. The employee sustained a tibia and fibula fracture.
