Abstract: At 10:47 a.m. on November 19, 2021, an employee who worked maintenance for a shopping mall and a coworker were tasked with discarding staged items from a parking lot into a 40-yard trash dumpster. The employee was operating a Caterpillar Forklift Powered Industrial Truck (PIT) while his coworker stood at the open doors of the dumpster assorting the trash into piles after the PIT had dropped the materials. While attempting to dispose of a large display plywood fire hydrant, the employee stepped out of the driver's seat and reached from underneath the forks to push the hydrant. From the coworker's location, he could see the employee's head and arm above the wall of the dumpster reaching toward the hydrant, which was placed on the elevated forks. The employee's foot slipped, and he fell forward between the mast and the forklift cage. As he fell, the employee's foot hit the tilt lever on the forklift pinning him between the mast and the ROPS. The employee crushed his abdomen and died in the hospital.
