Abstract: At 10:30 p.m. on August 22, 2019, a dockworker was using a forklift (Toyota Forklift Number 466-7778, Model Number: 8FGCU30, Serial Number: 68189) to load freight onto a trailer. The dockworker parked the forklift onto the dock plate on a slight incline and set the parking brake. The forklift was carrying a skid and the forks were elevated approximately 8 inches from the ground. When the dockworker entered the trailer between the forklift and freight, the parking brake failed. As the forklift rolled forward into the trailer, the employee became pinned between two skids. The employee was hospitalized for treatment of left and right ankle fractures.
