Narrative

The injured employee and a co-worker were loading a pallet of material onto a rack using a hydraulic lift system. The employee on the south side of the lift picked up the board about 2 inches so the board could enter the rack. The employee on the north side of the lift pressed the travel button to align the board with the rack opening. The injured employee was pinned between the lift and the rack and sustained fractured ribs.
