Abstract: On June 26, 2007, Employee #1 was working at a pour-in-place concrete parking garage under construction in Venice, CA. The foreman was transporting a small rebar cage on the right fork of a Caterpiller forklift, model GP30K, serial #13D36216, with a capacity 3,000 kilograms. As he slowly moved forward, Employee #1 was walking alongside the vehicle to steady the load. They were on a flat, smooth concrete surface when he tripped and his right foot was run over by the front wheel of the forklift. Employee #1 suffered a fractured ankle and was transported to the hospital, where he underwent surgery that same day. He was kept overnight and then released.
