## Narrative

An employee was attempting to close a dock door while sitting on a forklift. He had backed his forklift so that the rear right wheel was on a loading dock leveler that was still attached to a trailer approved for release. When the trailer was moved, the forklift fell over and the employee's hand was pinned between the ground and upper overhead carriage. He suffered broken bones in the thumb and palm area.
