Employee injures foot in clamp truck incident

At 3:47 p.m. on August 4, 2021, an employee was driving a clamp truck down aisle 535 while carrying two refrigerators. During the transit, the right side of the clamp clipped a refrigerator on a pallet, causing the clamp to move sharply. As a result, the employee fell out of the clamp truck, and her foot was caught between the pallet and the load. The employee sustained a contusion, laceration, and sprain of the ankle and foot. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
