Abstract: On January 29, 2007, Employee #1 and a coworker, construction laborers, were setting rafters for a structure while elevated in a man basket, working surface approximately 9.83 ft AGL, attached to a Caterpillar Telehandler 360B, a rough terrain forklift. The operator advanced the forklift without lifting the rafters enough to clear a 13.5 ft tall support post. The rafters pushed against an upright causing them to displace forward. Employee #1 was crushed between wooden rafters, 2-in. by 8-in. by 22-ft, and the top guardrail of a man basket. Employee #1 suffered bruises and contusions to his hip.
