Narrative

Two employees were working to repair an axle on an electric pallet jack. The injured employee was working underneath a pallet jack. As the co-worker held the tensioner, the pin came out, causing the pallet jack to collapse onto the employee underneath. The employee sustained an upper sternum fracture and was hospitalized.
