Abstract: At 1:55 p.m. on February 17, 2022, an employee was on a platform, attaching slabs of rock to a hook to be lifted by a forklift. The employee was positioning a hook to the middle of a 300-pound slab that was approximately 6 feet by 8-10 feet by 2 inches wide. As the slab started moving towards the employee, he tried to stop the slab with his hands. He fell backwards off the platform and hit his head on a metal part of the forklift. His hard hat fell off during the fall and he suffered a laceration on the back of his head, requiring three staples. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
