Abstract: At 7:30 p.m. on January 26, 2018, Employee #1 was loading pallet of materials to move to the truck with his fork lift. A coworker loaded his own fork lift and was ready to back out of the space and drive to the truck that was being loading. The coworker checked his area to be sure it was clear. Employee #1 walked behind the coworker's fork lift after the coworker had checked behind him to be sure the area was clear. The coworker looked forward at his check list and started to move in reverse before he looked back again. Employee #1 was struck by the fork lift, fracturing his leg above the ankle, requiring hospitalization and four surgeries.
