Narrative

An employee was loading HVAC components onto the back of a flatbed truck using a forklift. The employee got onto the flatbed to adjust/position the pallet to make room for a second pallet. The materials on top of the pallet shifted and moved toward the employee. The employee then jumped off the flatbed to the pavement four feet below, resulting in a fractured left tibia.
