Narrative

An employee was in the nose of a nearly-empty container moving boxed merchandise to the tail. Some merchandise was stacked above his head. While moving the multiple stacked boxes of furniture with the hand truck, the box on top that contained a chairside table (18x18x28, weighing 33 pounds) fell and struck the employee in the head. He fell to the floor, resulting in injuries to his head, neck, right shoulder, and both ankles. The employee was hospitalized.
