Final narrative
An employee was unloading a trailer. He did not lower the dock plate because there was a drum too close to the end of the trailer. While stepping from the dock to the trailer to move the drum, the employee fell between the trailer and dock. The drum then rolled onto his leg and crushed it between the dock and trailer. His leg broke and required surgery.
