Narrative

An employee (employee 1) was sitting on a stack of wooden pallets waiting for his shift to start with a stack of plastic pallets next to him. Another employee (employee 2) used a forklift to lift the stack of pallets next to employee 1, and three loose pallets slid off the forklift and struck employee 1 in the head, resulting in lacerations to the left side of his head.
