Abstract: At approximately 10:22 a.m. on April 5, 2006, Employee #1 was standing on a loading dock, when he was struck by a forklift. The forklift ran over his right foot, causing tissue, tendon, ligament and bone damage. He was transported to a medical center. At the hospital, he underwent surgical procedures that required amputating his foot. After undergoing three surgical procedures, he was hospitalized for postoperative treatment. The causal factors of the accident were that the employer did not ensure employees were clear from the movement of forklift operations and ensure that forklift operators look in the direction of travel prior to movement of the vehicle.
