Investigation Summary
At 7:20 a.m. on November 5, 2020, there was a concrete pour happening, and there was a concrete pump sitting (in part) in the equipment travel path. The Safety Coordinator stated that the boom operator had to move towards an open trench to position around the concrete pump and in doing so, positioned the JIB-side of the forklift too close to the edge of the travel path, next to the open trench. As Employee #1, a ground laborer, was attempting to secure the jib to the load, he heard a noise, turned to see the forklift shifting downward as the trench edge gave way. The Safety Coordinator indicated that Employee #1 attempted to move out of the way but was unable to and the JIB, estimated at 750 pounds, caught Employee #1 on the left side of his body as it fell, pinching his hip and left leg between the lift JIB and the ground. Employee #1 fractured his pelvis and ankle and was immediately transferred to the hospital on November 5, 2020, and had surgery on November 6, 2020.
