Narrative

On September 13, 2024, the injured employee was walking through an aisle where a co-worker was removing pallets from the racking system using an order picker. The corner of a pallet being moved contacted the corner of a skid next to it, causing two empty pallets to fall 12 to 16 feet from the racking onto the injured employee. The employee sustained a laceration and contusions to the back of their head and left shoulder.
