## Narrative

After loading a truck, an employee pulled away from the dock so that he could swing the trailer doors shut. Upon looking at the load from the ground, he noticed that a pallet at the rear of the load might shift or tip in transit and decided to install a load strap to restrain the product. After installing the strap, he stepped back to inspect his work and fell off the edge of the trailer, fracturing his right tibia.
