Abstract: At 1:30 p.m. on July 2, 2018, an employee was working from an extension ladder (Werner aluminum extension ladder) to install strapping using a pneumatic nail gun. While the employee was working, a coworker, operating a forklift (X-Treme, Model 1255 rough terrain forklift), backed into the ladder the employee was working from while trying to remove a dumpster from the area. The employee then fell approximately fourteen feet and landed on a pile of lumber. The employee was hospitalized for multiple fractures to his right leg and ankle.
