## Narrative

On March 22, 2025, an employee was unwrapping a nylon cover from a bundle of steel pipes that was on a forklift. He kneeled under, or stood over the pipe bundle, and used a box cutter to remove the covering. He fell backward and caught his leg on a rack or another structure that was behind him. The pipes remained strapped together and did not fall. The employee was hospitalized with fractures to his right tibia and fibula, and an injury to his right elbow.
