Narrative

An employee was hooking a roll-off container truck tow cable to a roll-off storage tank from between the truck's elevated guide rails and the metal tank. Their right leg became pinched between the guide rails and the metal tank when the truck backed up to get closer to the tank. This resulted in a fractured tibia and a laceration to the calf.
