Employee #1 was moving the skid pallets using a manual pallet jack in place inside of a 26-ft Ford truck. A coworker was the operator of an industrial truck and was using it to move the skid pallets from the truck to the inside of the warehouse.

The industrial truck went over a slight elevation and one of the skid pallets hit the dock plate and fell on Employee #1. Employee #1 suffered a fractured right leg and was hospitalized for two days.
