Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on October 4, 1995, Employee #1, of Central Coast San, Inc., Ventura, CA, was moving a small utility trailer out of a garage. He had picked up the towing hitch and was backing out of the garage down a ramp. The weight of the trailer propelled him backward and pushed him into a parked forklift. He was pinched between the forklift and the trailer. His right leg was lacerated when it was caught between the tongue of the hitch and the forklift. Employee #1 was transported to Ventura Hospital by the employer. No citation was issued because the employee was told prior to moving the trailer how to move it; he chose to move it by hand, violating verbal orders. Abatement was complied with when Employee #1 was verbally disciplined.
