Narrative

An employee was stacking and banding groups of pipe braces on a forklift so they could then be loaded onto trucks for transport. Each brace was 42 feet long and about 550 pounds. The 4-foot stack fell from the forklift forks and the employee was struck by several pipe braces resulting in a fracture to the lower right leg and a hernia.
