Investigation Summary
At 10:45 p.m. on April 29, 1996, Employee #1, a deliveryman for Geo Drilling Fluids, Inc., was using a forklift to unload pallets of potassium chloride at Gary Drilling rig #5, Santa Fe Energy Resources, well #438. He was backing away from the trailer with the material hoisted 6 to 10 inches. There was limited space in which to maneuver the forklift, and, in an attempt to clear the trailer, he turned the rear forklift wheels sharply onto a small incline. The forklift tilted forward, dropped the palletized material, and rolled over, injuring Employee #1.
