Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was moving empty pallets with a Crown standup fork truck, model #45 RRTTS, serial #1A128539, company ID #93R004, with the load trailing. A coworker lowered the forks of a Crown standup fork truck, model #45 RRTTS, serial #1A128522, company ID #93R003, after placing a load of empty pallets on a shelf. Employee #1, while operating his fork truck, failed to observe the coworker on the other truck, who was in his path. Employee #1's forklift struck the forks of the coworker's truck, which were elevated 39 in. The forks entered the operator's compartment and penetrated Employee #1's legs. The rear thigh muscles of both legs were lacerated and torn. Inspection of the fork trucks found no deficiencies that would have caused the accident. The employer has a training program on employee operation of the fork trucks.
