Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was hired in May, 1990, as a part-time clean-up worker between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. On August 8, 1990, he was cleaning the pole shed, placing debris into a small trash bin and hauling it on a Caterpillar towmotor forklift, model #V55B, serial #89M1083, to the large trash bin. Around 4:45 p.m., after the yard had closed, he was returning to the pole shed through the lumber storage yard on a dirt roadway. As he was making a 90 degree left turn, the forklift started to slide, rocked from side to side, and then turned over on its left side, crushing Employee #1's left leg between the overhead guard and the ground. There were no witnesses. Employee #1 said that he was traveling very slowly down the dirt roadway. The family that lives across the fence from the roadway said that they saw the forklift traveling at a slow speed, but did not see it turn over. The yard mechanic said that there was nothing mechanically wrong with the forklift that would have caused the accident.
