Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was not trained or authorized to operate a forklift truck. The employee arrived at work early (before normal working hours) and decided to move a forklift to an area outside the building. The employee proceeded to drive the forklift out the loading dock door and down the loading dock ramp. When he drove off the side of the ramp, the forklift dropped about 2 feet and landed on its left side. His head and chest were crushed by the overhead guard. Employee #1 died at the scene of internal injuries. There were no witnesses and supervisory management was not in the area at the time of the accident.
