SLIP OR FALL OF PERSON
BARD Materials · Caught in, under or between (Not Elsewhere Classified)
Employee slipped while standing on a steel bracket mounted to a stacking conveyor. In the course of the fall, the employee's left leg became stuck between the steel bracket and the stacker itself, which fixed that leg in place as employee continued to fall. The combination of the fall and the stuck leg resulted in a fracture to the tibia and a displacement of the patella.
