Abstract: At approximately 5:30 a.m. on September 2, 2010, Employee #1, a carpenter, was standing on a 4-ft by 8-ft wooden pallet that was lifted by a Clark, propane gas operated forklift, Model Number C30CL:LP and Serial Number C232L-0645-9592-KF, with a 5,600-lb capacity. He was using the forklift to retrieve 34-inch by 97-inch cardboard boxes, which were on the storage rack. When he was lifted to 8 feet, Employee #1 took a few steps forward towards the rack. The wooden pallet broke, and he fell onto the concrete floor. He sustained injuries to his spleen, back, and ribs. Employee #1 was hospitalized for treatment.
