Employee is struck by falling wooden crate while emptying bo

At 10:17 a.m. on June 11, 2021, Employee #1, a dock hand with approximately 24 years of service, was emptying a box truck at a storage facility for a moving company. While facing a small dumpster in the yard area, a coworker operating a Toyota forklift (Model No. 7FGCU23) was emptying debris from a large wooden crate onto the dumpster. The crate, weighing about 315 pounds and measuring approximately 4 feet wide by 7 feet high and deep, was not secured to the forklift forks. As the forklift operator began to back up and turn with the forks elevated, the crate fell from the forks and struck Employee #1, crushing him. The employee was hospitalized from June 11 to June 14, sustaining fractured ribs and vertebrae damage.
