Narrative

After unloading a truckload of firewood, an employee was using spray paint to indicate on the logs the date they arrived at the tree service's yard. The employee stood on a 12-inch rock to paint a date and his feet slipped, causing him to fall on his back. The employee lost consciousness and fractured a lower vertebra. The employee was hospitalized.
