Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was a lift truck helper in the shipping area of the Georgia Pacific Corporation's sawmill in Fort Bragg, CA. At approximately 9:30 a.m. on May 16, 1991, he was helping to load units onto lumber trucks by spotting the units and removing spacers from between them. A truck had been loaded and Employee #1 was on the lift's elevated forks where he was placing the extra spacers. The lift truck backed away from the load, creating a gap of about 3 ft between the mast and the load. Employee #1 was trying to shift from the right fork to the left when he misstepped and fell between 7 and 8 ft to the ground. He dislocated his left shoulder and fractured four ribs on his right side. Employee #1 was transported to Mendocino Coast Hospital.
