Investigation Summary
At 8:45 a.m. on January 26, 2022, an employee, a forklift operator, was using a forklift to unload pallets of decorative metal from a Kenworth, 3-Axle Tractor Trailer that was parked on the street in front of the site. The employee lifted the last pallet of decorative metal from the east side of the truck, the previous pallets had been removed from the west side. The employee had the pallet on the forks, however, he was not able to maneuver the load due to the position of the forklift between the truck and facility driveway. The employee instructed the driver of the truck to pull forward to allow forward movement of the forklift. When the truck was moving forward, the tip of the forks contacted the metal bar that secures the curtain to the back of the truck causing the forklift to overturn. The employee fell from the forklift and was caught between the ground and the forklift. The employee was transported to a local hospital, where he was treated for a lower leg fracture and released.
