Final narrative
An employee was performing mowing operations while operating a skid steer at a worksite. The employee noticed several flat panels lying on the ground and went to move them with the skid steer. The panels began to shift on the forks as they were lifted. He exited the skid steer to readjust the panels and was bitten on his left thumb by a rattlesnake that had been pinned beneath the load.
