Narrative

An employee was moving 2x10 boards in the sorter bay using a 6-foot, 2-inch pike pole. Another board fell into the bin and struck one end of the pike pole, causing the pike pole to pivot on the handrail. The opposite end went upward and struck the employee's head behind his right ear. The employee sustained a concussion and an intracranial hemorrhage.
