Narrative

Three employees were preparing to unload a burnt pole from the back of their work truck. The injured employee was standing on the driver's side step of the truck while another employee in the rear of the truck began deploying the outriggers. The injured employee stepped down from the truck underneath the outriggers, resulting in multiple fractures and a partial amputation to her right big toe.
