Investigation Summary
At 8:00 a.m. on June 18, 2021, an employee who worked as a welder for a recycling company, was driving a forklift and moving a large bin. The employee came close to a stationary large forklift, bending a hydraulic hose and valve with the cage of his forklift. As he passed the stationary forklift, the bent valve released and struck him in the head from the energy stored as a result of the bend. The employee sustained a head laceration and was hospitalized.
