Abstract: At 1:04 p.m. on February 8, 2016, an employee was replacing or installing a new alternator in a forklift. The employee was a road service technician who did maintenance and servicing activities on powered industrial vehicles while at the host employer's worksites. The employee was using an AC Hydraulic A/S forklift jack (Model: FJ40, S/N: 140373) under the left drive tire, to lift a Hyster (Model: S50FT, S/N: F187V24851L) propane forklift. The employee elevated the forklift jack approximately 9? inches above the floor, and then went under the forklift without installing jack stands to begin repairs. Approximately one minute after starting the work, the hydraulic jack dislodged from under the forklift and shot approximately 8 feet across the floor, resulting in the forklift falling to the ground and crushing and killing the employee. There were no witnesses to the accident.
