Final narrative
An employee was working at a bander station. She was asked to help a forklift driver separate a unit of wooden MDF panels which had a bad panel on the 17th panel from the top. The employee was standing on the left side of the forklift, giving directions on fork positioning. The forklift pushed 16 panels from the stack which fell on top of the injured employee's leg. She was hospitalized with two broken bones on her left ankle and torn ligaments that required surgery.
