Abstract: At approximately 3:15 p.m. on April 27, 2007, Employee #1 was working as a regular, fulltime stock handler for the Xerox Corporation at their facility in Cerritos, CA, for the warehousing and distribution of copying machines and similar items in a western region. As he was standing and facing a rack, trying to retrieve a part, a coworker was backing up a Raymond Model Number EASI DR30TT stand-up forklift, with Serial Number EZ-D-07-37814, to stage parts and material being brought from another location. The forklift weighed 2,650 pounds and was red in color; there are about twenty-five at the facility. The coworker, monitoring the goods that were positioned on the forks of the truck he was driving for proper staging, failed to look in the direction of travel. One of the rear wheels on his truck ran over Employee #1's left foot, lacerating it. Employee #1 was immediately taken to the University of California, Irvine, Healthcare medical center in Orange County for treatment, and he was hospitalized. He was released after three days.
