Abstract: Employee #1 was stacking a unit of lumber and needed the bander, a tool that crimps metal clips on a metal band to hold the unit together. The bander was on a forklift truck that was being used by a coworker. The forklift operator pulled up to Employee #1 to give him the bander. They spoke for about a minute, and Employee #1 took the tool. The coworker then shut off the forklift and stood up, intending to help Employee #1. When the operator took his foot off the clutch, the lift truck lurched forward and ran over Employee #1's right foot. The lift truck had been in gear and continued to run even after being shut off. Employee #1 was wearing steel-toed shoes at the time of the accident.
