Investigation Summary
At approximatlely 2:00 p.m. on February 29, 2016, Employee #1, a forklift operator, approached a roller conveyor in preparation to load a finished sand mold onto a plate which was staged on the lift's forks. Employee #1 elevated the metal plate level with the end of the conveyor then dismounted the forklift. With the help of Employee #2, a mold assembler, both employees began to manually push a 250 pound mold from the roller conveyor onto the plate located on the forks of the forklift. The forklift's forks were not between the two I-beams attached to the underside of the plate and when the mold began to shift weight to the plate, the plate and mold both began to fall from the forklift and conveyor. The mold fell onto the right arm of Employee #1, pinning the employee's arm between the mold and the plate. Employee #1 sustained fractures to three different areas of the lower arm. Employee #2 was not injured.
