Abstract: At 10:15 a.m. on February 21, 2019, Employee #1 and a coworker, employed by a construction company, were preparing to install a window at a new building. Employee #1 was assisting the coworker, who was the onsite foreman, to transport a 19 feet by 5 feet window frame from a laydown yard on the north side of the building to the south side of the building. The foreman was operating a Telehandler forklift to transport the window frame. The suspended load was kept stable by Employee #1 walking alongside the forklift while placing his hand on the suspended load. The foreman attempted to make a turn with the forklift. He was not aware that Employee #1 was in extremely close proximity to the front of the forklift. Employee #1's left foot was run over by the forklift's right front tire. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital and admitted for treatment of a crushed and fractured ankle.
