Investigation Summary
At 8:25 a.m. on November 10, 2021, an employee was working as an associate at a big box retailer of hardware and lumber. She was attempting to operate a riding electric pallet jack to move it out of the way. She was neither certified nor authorized to operate the lift equipment. The manager was not around. The employee hit the throttle too quickly. She tried to slow or stop the pallet jack by stepping off the machine while it was in operation. Her right foot was pinned between the pallet jack and some cantilever racking. She suffered fractures of her metatarsal bones. She was hospitalized.
