Abstract: At approximately 5:00 a.m. on February 15, 2009, an employee arrived at the worksite and proceeded to the dot com area. The work required her to pull customer orders and place the items in bins for home delivery. Upon arrival in the dot com area, the employee pulled the orders off the list and was preparing to leave the area to get a cart. The area was congested at the entrance with pallets of product that were placed to the left by the night crew. Extending from the entrance, a coworker was standing on the side of a cart that she had pushed into the entrance. As the employee was departing the area, the coworker, pushed a pallet jack across the entrance to retrieve a pallet. The employee tripped over the forks of the pallet jack and landed in the aisle on her hip. The employee fell and fractured her hip. The employee was stabilized by her coworkers until the emergency medical services arrived and transported her to the hospital. The employee was hospitalized and treated for a fractured hip.
