## Narrative

A temporary employee had just finished loading the contents of a semi-truck trailer onto a drive-over conveyor when he turned away to get a broom. The customer's trailer began to drive away while the employee's back was turned. The brakes of the trailer pulled the metal plate that was covering the conveyor out of position. The employee stepped down onto the moving conveyor belt and his right leg was caught between two pieces of metal, resulting in foot and ankle injuries.
