Investigation Summary
At 2:00 p.m. on June 19, 2019, an employee was operating a forklift powered industrial truck (PIT) and was in the process of dropping off a load of material. At the same time a coworker operating a PIT entered the same area to pick up a load. As the coworker backed out of the area with his load, he looked over his shoulder and he did not see the employee. The coworker struck the employee's PIT with his PIT. The employee aggravated his pre-existing non-work related neck injury as a result and was observed at a hospital for about twenty three hours and released.
