Abstract: At approximately 6:55 a.m. on December 1, 1999, Employee #1 was standing behind a bobtail truck helping the yard supervisor unload tilt-up pipe braces from a bobtail truck. The yard supervisor was operating a forklift. Employee #1 rolled braces to the edge of the truck bed, so that the forklift driver could easily pickup these braces. When the forklift driver raised the forklift past the gates of the truck, Employee #1 was proceeding to roll other braces from left to right for the next pickup. While the forklift driver was backing up and making a turn, one brace fell off from the fork and struck Employee #1's neck and upper back. Employee #1 sustained a fractured cervical bone and nerve damage from this accident and was hospitalized.
