Narrative

Employees were pulling cables through a stationary unit under the 200-pound battery storage tray. The injured employee's hand was on top of the battery tray to assist with the cabling. The tray was sitting on the frame and had not yet been secured in place and was cantilevered. The tray tipped and slid down toward the employee's foot pinning it against a nearby part, causing a compound fracture of the right tibia.
