One employee killed, one injured when struck by forklift

At approximately 10:45 a.m. on January 15, 1992, Employees #1 and #2 and a truck driver were standing behind a supply truck near a shop loading door. They were waiting for a forklift to arrive to help unload the supply truck.

Employee #2 sustained a broken left thumb and broken nose.
