Investigation Summary
On April 9, 2012, around 12:50 PM, Employee #1, a 46-year-old male Wal-Mart Coordinator employed by Walker Food Inc., was performing a regularly assigned task of stacking boxes on pallets to fill the Wal-Mart orders. A coworker was driving a forklift up a ramp with the load forward. The coworker could not see where he was driving because the load blocked his view. As a result he did not see Employee #1 and pinned his leg between the load on the forklift and the pallet Employee #1 was filling. Employee #1 suffered a broken leg in the event. Employee #1 was transported for treatment to White Memorial Hospital. Interviews were conducted of Employee #1 and the coworkers. The investigation concluded that a coworker operated a forklift with a load that obstructed the clear visible view. This coworker struck Employee #1 between the load he was carrying and a loaded pallet. As a result, the Division issued a serious accident related citation T8 CCR 3650(t). The facility involved in the accident is a food manufacture and distribution plant. The Employee #1 had been working there for two-years performing duties of a Wal-Mart Coordinator including filling orders for Wal-Mart.
