Abstract: At 12:45 p.m. on April 7, 2022, an employee, a laborer, was fatally crushed under a powered industrial fork truck that he was operating. The employee was driving a rented forklift back to an adjacent parking lot/work area. The seat belt was found latched to itself post-accident, lending to facts that the employee was not wearing the required seatbelt during operation. This was not part of regularly assigned work duties for the victim, as he was not certified or trained to operate a PIV. No witnesses were present or observed the accident. After the rollover, the employee was hospitalized, and later died on April 11, 2022.
