Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170843320
Event: 09/04/1999
Employee's thumb injured by falling pallets

Employee #1 was using a manually-operated hydraulic pallet jack to load stacks of pallets into a steel container. He was using the handle of the pallet jack to maneuver some pallets when he struck a gusset on the inside of the container and knocked the top pallet off an 18-unit-high stack. The falling pallet struck his hands on the control handle, nearly severing one of his thumbs. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where his thumb was surgically reattached. The accident occurred because Employee #1 had not familiarized himself with the interior of the container before starting to load the pallet stacks.
