Abstract: On August 3, 2004, Employee #1 and a coworker were using a forklift to unload conduit and reels of electrical wire from a truck. When they had finished, the coworker driving the forklift told Employee #1 to get their van and meet him at the slab so they could keep working. The driver saw Employee #1 walk in front of the forklift and out of sight. He then backed up the forklift and went to pick up a reel to take to the slab. He was dismounting the lift truck to load the reel when he saw Employee #1 on the ground. He had been struck by the forklift and killed.
