Investigation Summary
At 3:30 p.m. on November 1, 2021, an employee was driving a truck delivering materials (a slab) to a client. The employee was assisting with unloading the materials, which was common practice during delivery. The employee was guiding the slab while a coworker (client) operating a forklift (powered industrial truck/PIT) was guiding the material. The PIT clamp was not correctly placed on the slab which caused the slab to tip and fall onto the employee's right leg. The employee incurred a compound fracture of his leg and required hospitalization.
