Investigation Summary
At 7:30 a.m. on July 27, 2022, an employee was installing a starter in a Mitsubishi forklift. The employee placed a TCM forklift behind the Mitsubishi forklift that was being worked on and lifted it up, placing a jack stand under it and 4 by 6 blocks under the frame. The employee installed the starter. Then, the employee used the TCM forklift to lift the back of the Mitsubishi forklift, and removed the jack stand. The employee got on a creeper and went under the Mitsubishi forklift while elevated by the TCM forklift and came back out to get an impact drill and a light. The employee went back under the Mitsubishi forklift to finish the work, when the TCM forklift holding the Mitsubishi forklift began to drift backwards, coming out from under the Mitsubishi Forklift, allowing it to fall to the ground with the employee under the Mitsubishi Forklift. The employee was killed due to blunt force trauma to the head.
