Abstract: On November 10, 2011, Employee #1, a material handler, was helping a coworker move totes filled with rice using a forklift. The coworker hooked the straps of the tote with his forklift and began backing away. While backing, he brushed against an adjacent stack, causing a tote to fall and hit Employee #1, forcing him to the ground. Employee #1 was not crushed by the tote, but sustained a right shoulder dislocation. He was transported by ambulance to the local hospital, where his shoulder was reset. He was treated and released on the same day.
