Narrative

An employee was operating a stand-up forklift and was traveling underneath a mezzanine to drop a pallet of supplies. As they backed out of the area, the mast of the forklift contacted the staircase for the mezzanine, causing the vehicle to stop abruptly. The employee fell out of the lift, resulting in a left elbow fracture and a hip injury.
