Abstract: On June 5, 2024, an employee working as a machine operator for an oil mill and ginnery was operating a fertilizer mixer loading fertilizer into a customer's fertilizer spreading vehicle. The employee finished loading the vehicle and told the driver of the vehicle that he was all set. The vehicle drove away to scale out of the facility. A short time later, a coworker drove a JCB telehandler forklift past the fertilizer mixer and proceeded to park the forklift by the ginning building. At approximately 9:11 a.m., the coworker went into the ginning building for a couple of minutes and returned outside at which time he found the employee lying on the ground between the fertilizer mixer and the ginning building. A coworker had driven a forklift (PIV) directly through the area where the employee was found. The employee died from severe head trauma.
