## Narrative

A forklift was backing out of a pick location after doing some work on a raw material container.  While in reverse, the lift struck another employee in the back. This forced the employee's foot into an open end on a drum lifting device. The pressure compressed his steel toe boot and fractured toes on his left foot.
