Investigation Summary
A forklift operator was traveling forward out of a building door while his view was obstructed by the four empty stacked boxes that he was carrying. When stacked one on top of the other, the boxes total 63-inches high. Additionally, the forklift operator's view was blocked many similar stacks of full boxes that were placed outside of the door. Employee #1 came around the stack of boxes, looking down while cleaning her glasses. She stepped in the path of the forklift. The forklift operator did not see Employee #1, nor did Employee #1 see or hear the forklift approaching. The load of empty boxes on the forklift struck Employee #1, knocking her to the ground. Still not aware of the presence of Employee #1, the operator almost drove over her when a bystander stopped him.
