Narrative

An employee was cleaning up after servicing a machine between the machine's infeed rollers and a guard rail. A forklift was placing a load of pallets on the infeed rollers when the bottom pallet caught the lip of the line, causing the rest of the wooden pallets to fall off the forklift's forks. The pallets pinned the injured employee against the equipment and broke his pelvis.
