Investigation Summary
At 1:45 a.m. on June 13, 2019, an employee working in a warehouse exited his stand-up forklift to load material onto a pallet in the same aisle as a coworker who was picking material with another stand-up forklift. The coworker backed up towards the first employee without looking in the direction of travel and struck the employee's forklift, crushing the employee's left arm between the two forklifts. The employee was transported EMS and was hospitalized with injuries to his forearm.
