Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:45 a.m. on November 24, 2021, an employee and a forklift operator wrapped a freight shipment for air transportation. The forklift operator picked up the shrink-wrap attachment with his forks. The employee mounted the attachment that was being picked up, began feeding the manually operated machine with plastic wrap, and attached an end to the palletized cargo. The forklift operator began to drive around the cargo freight in a circular rotation to begin wrapping. The employee and forklift operator did not see another staged forklift nearby and struck the forklift's rear bumper with the shrink wrap attachment. The employee was pushed around the metallic guard rails of the shrink wrap attachment and sustained lacerations to his head. The employee was hospitalized.
