Abstract: At approximately 7:46 a.m. on or about September 27, 2013, Employee #1, with J F Landscape Inc., was standing near the driver side of a company's GEHL industrial truck, which was idling. The truck then rolled down a sloped driveway. Employee #1 sustained leg fractures, when the rear wheel of the equipment ran over both of his lower legs. The causal factors were: the truck driver left equipment running unattended; the truck driver failed to ensure that the brake was set; and, the wheels were not chocked when parked the industrial forklift on an incline, as required by the manufacture. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
