Abstract: Employee #1 was hauling storage locker bolt bins to a dump truck with a forklift. He hit the brakes, hoping the storage lockers would slide forward and off the forks into the dump truck bed. The load slid sideways on the forks. Employee #1 jumped off the forklift and started to push the lockers into the dump bed. The load shifted and knocked him backwards into a sitting position. A storage locker then came down and struck Employee #1, fracturing both of his ankles. Employee #1 was hospitalized for his injuries.
