Abstract: At 7:45 p.m. on February 4, 2017, an employee was operating a Raymond electric driving double pallet jack while alone in Aisle 560. The employee was certified to operate the pallet jack and worked at the site for less than two weeks as a temporary worker. The employee apparently lost control of the pallet jack while moving to the back of the warehouse and around a rest room kiosk. The employee hit the rest room kiosk. The employee's right leg hit a guardrail rated for 10,000 pounds while traveling at 4 miles per hour, causing a compound fracture of the right leg. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital, and was admitted for more than 24 hours. After the incident, the pallet jack was inspected and it was reported the jack was in good working order.
