Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170061907

Event: 06/29/1995

Employee injured in overturned forklift

Employee #1 was making a turn on a 3 degree downhill gravel drive when his forklift started to tip over. A witness said that Employee #1 appeared to try to jump off but the overhead protective cage caught him and pinned him to the ground. Employee #1 required hospitalization. A broken suspension part found on the forklift, which had not been broken in the roll-over, would have allowed the body of the lift to exceed the design limit. Speed and the surface on which the forklift was being operated were also contributing factors to the accident.
