Abstract: At approximately 11:30 a.m. on February 16, 2001, Employee #1 was injured when hit by a forklift driven by a coworker. Employee #1 was returning to the work area from a bathroom break and was walking east in the center aisle of the warehouse, this aisle is about 10 ft wide. A loaded pallet jack was parked in the aisle with its forks extending into the aisle. A coworker operating a crown stand up reach truck, Model Number RR 5020- 45, Serial Number 1A202811, was going west in the same aisle. Employee #1 saw the coworker driving the forklift toward him and backed up against storage rack, CA-18, so the coworker and forklift could pass. The coworker turned to the right to go around the pallet jack, that was obstructing part of the aisle, and ran over the right foot of employee #1 with the stand up's drive wheel. Employee #1 was transported to a hospital where his right foot was partially amputated. At the time of the accident there were no designated walkways for pedestrians and the coworker was a trained forklift operator. Employee #1 was hospitalized for twenty-two days.
