A coworker elevated him to the rafters using a forklift while he was standing inside a scrap box on the forklift tines. The scrap box lost balance and fell from the tines, causing Employee #1 to fall to the ground. Emergency services transported him to the hospital, where he was admitted and treated for broken ribs.
