Abstract: On August 21, 1990, Employee #1 returned from her break and went to the forklift charging station. As she began to mount the forklift and put her right foot on the pedal, her left foot slipped on a very small puddle of oil on the floor. Her hand accidentally struck the throttle, causing the forklift to move backward. As she pulled the throttle to stop her fall, the forklift pinned her against the battery charging rack.
