Narrative

An employee was assisting a forklift operator in rotating a piece of equipment (500 pounds) and using a tagline to maintain distance. As the forklift lowered the load, the injured employee pulled the tagline toward himself to rotate the equipment so it could be set down on the ground in the proper orientation. The equipment slipped off the forks and struck the injured employee in the upper leg, resulting in a contusion and compartment syndrome.
