Investigation Summary
At 11:15 p.m. on January 1, 2021, Employee #1 was operating a Crown Standing Lift, Unit #99, while traveling at a governed speed of 5 mph in an unobstructed line of travel. The employee made a left turn into a narrow aisle to pull product from a shelving rack. Upon exiting the aisle, the employee was seen holding his left hand. Based on the employer's investigation and visible damage to the lift, it is believed that the lift made contact with the shelving rack, crushing the employee's left hand between the two objects. The employee was transported to the hospital, where he was admitted and underwent two surgeries to treat the injury.
