Investigation Summary

At 1:55 p.m. on September 10, 2021, an employee working as a laborer for a staffing service was working at a 3rd party logistics and warehousing company. The company receives warehouses and distributes merchandise for a variety of clients. The employee was unloading boxes from a truck, stacking the boxes on pallets, wrapping the pallets, and moving the pallets with a pallet jack. The employee was operating a manual pallet jack at the loading dock on the southwest corner of the building. The employee was standing at the edge of the dock jacking up a pallet in the back of a truck to offload it. A coworker operating a forklift stacked four pallets of merchandise on top of each other against the wall behind where the employee was working. The boxes on the bottom pallet buckled under the weight and the stack of boxes and pallets toppled onto the employee pushing him into the pallet jack. The employee was hospitalized to treat multiple fractures to his right leg, a fracture to his left jaw, dislocation of the right knee and the loss of 3 teeth.
