Narrative

On November 26, 2024, employees were unloading a unit of lumber from a flatbed trailer. The unit consisted of 100 2-inch x 6-inch boards measuring 12 feet long and stacked in five columns of 20 boards each. The unit was held together by three nylon bands that were 1 inch thick. From beside the trailer, the employees cut the first two bands, and upon cutting the third band, 10 to 12 pieces of lumber fell from the top of the unit and struck the injured employee in the face. The employee suffered head injuries including a black eye, a laceration to the nose, swollen lips, and a potential brain bleed. The employee was hospitalized.
