Abstract: At 9:30 a.m. on November 4, 2019, an employee working as a Laborer for a temporary employment company pulled his powered industrial vehicle (PIV), a forklift, behind a truck. A coworker was loading the truck using another PIV and the employee was preparing to assist the coworker. The employee exited his forklift and walked in front of his load to scan it while it was suspended approximate 2 feet from the floor. The coworker had finished placing a load in the truck and began to back up. The coworker failed to look behind him and backed into the employee pinning him between his forklift and the employee's PIV forks. The employee sustained a puncture, dislocation to his leg and a broken femur. The employee was hospitalized for treatment. The employee required a surgical amputation to his leg above the knee.
