Abstract: At 8:00 p.m. on November 1, 2021, an employee was standing next to his forklift at the bottom of a ramp, which led to the inside of the warehouse, waiting for maintenance to repair a loose fuel line. Another forklift came down the ramp in reverse loaded with pallets. It was dark and there was a truck that was partially parked in front of the ramp. The forklift operator swerved to avoid the truck and backed into the employee and pinned him between the two forklifts. The employee suffered a crushed knee which required hospitalization and surgery.
