Investigation Summary
At 7:50 p.m. on February 7, 2020, an employee was dumping trash into a dumpster using a Unicarriers forklift and was standing on the edge rail on top of the dumpster to push the trash into the container. The employee started descending using the forklift's mast when he fell to the ground. Coworkers heard a noise and went to see what it was and found the employee on the ground by the forklift in a pool of blood. The employee was rushed to the hospital to treat a traumatic brain injury and was in a comma for more than a week.
