Investigation Summary
At 2:45 p.m. on October 13, 2021, an employee was driving a variable reach forklift back to the worksite office yard at the end of shift. The employee was an installer at a new solar energy farm project worksite. The employee was dead-heading the forklift and traveling northbound at 5 mph on a 17 ft wide dirt road with a berm on each side, with a dry ditch to the left and a water-filled ditch on the right side of the road. Although the employee was trying to stay away from the water-filled ditch, the fork-lift right front wheel got too close to the right side and began to ride on the dirt berm, causing the forklift to fall into the ditch and overturn. The employee fractured his clavicle and multiple ribs, and was hospitalized.
