Abstract: At approximately 10:00 a.m. on May 15, 2001, Employee #1, a shop labor, was walking along the side of a forklift trying to steady a heavy load. He was also watching the on coming traffic for the forklift driver as they were trying to cross the street. They were moving a slab of limestone approximately 8.5-ft by 4.5-ft by-2-in. and weighting approximately 1200 pounds. The slab was rigged using a lifting clamp. The forklift stopped to allow some traffic to go by. After the traffic passed the forklift moved and Employee #1 felt the forklift's wheel catch his right heel and tripped. The forklift then rolled up his left leg to a point just below the knee. The driver saw Employee #1 fall out of his peripheral vision and stopped the forklift. Employee #1 was hospitalized with a broken left leg and foot.
