Abstract: On May 1, 2008, Employee # 1, of Custom Alloy Scrap Sales Incorporated, was standing on a cart, mounted on a forklift. The forks were raised to an approximate height of 10 ft. Employee #1 unplugged the power cable of a surveillance camera. Employee #1 walked towards the edge of the cart, and it tilted and fell with him in it. He was transported to Highland hospital, in Oakland for treatment of fractures of the left wrist, right elbow, right humerous and right pelvis. Employee #1 had unplugged the power cable of a surveillance camera. However, based upon interviews conducted with the employer, employees, Employee #1 and documentation developed during the investigation, it was determined that Employee #1 was using a platform that did not have guardrails and was not secured to the forks (a man basket). This violated the Title 8 code sections.
