Abstract: At approximately 1:45 p.m. on November 7, 2011, Employee #1 was stacking an order of boards as they came off of the conveyor on the Number 143 machine. After the order was complete, he went to the raw stock area and began cutting straps on a container board load that was 3.5-ft high. After cutting the straps, Employee #1 began talking to a forklift operator who had pulled around behind him. At that moment, he saw the load falling but could not move because of the forklift. The load stuck his lower right leg, including his foot and ankle. The supervisor was on the production floor and sent Employee #1 by taxi to US Health Works in the City of Industry for x-rays. Employee #1 had a fracture of the fibula and a fracture of the tibia with dislocation. He was hospitalized for four days.
