Abstract: At 10:00 a.m. on February 22, 2022, an employee, a forklift operator, laid one side of a 25 foot long furnace door on top of the forks of a forklift. At the same time, a coworker was rigging the other side up to a crane. They then began moving the furnace door over to a trailer for it to be loaded onto. The forklift operator stepped off the forklift to view the positioning of the furnace door on the forklift. As the employee was doing this, the furnace door slipped off the forks and struck the forklift operator's leg, resulting in a broken leg. The employee was hospitalized.
