Investigation Summary
Employee #1, of Home Base Inc., a do-it-yourself hardware store, was spotting for a forklift driver. The driver was bringing a cabinet down 20 ft from a stock shelf. Employee #1's job was to watch out for customers who might interfere so that the forklift driver could concentrate exclusively on the lift. The lift was made and the forklift driver moved the load to the left, but struck a sign hanging from wires. The sign pole, a 3/4 in. by 4 ft piece of pipe, fell from its wire and struck Employee #1 in the forehead above his left eye. 911 was called and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where 15 (cosmetic) stitches were administered. Employee #1 was released after an exam and x-rays. Employee #1 returned to work in one day. The employer was cited for not requiring and supplying a hard hat.
