Abstract: At approximately 11:00 a.m. on January 23, 2006, a forklift operator was carrying a large load of 40-ft long beams on a Hyster forklift, Number 211, (Model Number H200HS, and Serial Number C007D03196J) in aisle Number 15 in the backyard. The employer was a wholesaler of lumber. As the forklift operator was driving in the east direction, the left end of the load of beams inadvertently hit the top of a large stack of lumber beams (12 to 14 ft high), causing the lumber to fall on an employee, who was working in the back of the lumber stack. The worker sustained a multiple blunt force trauma injury.
