Investigation Summary
Employee #1 stepped behind the right front wheel of a P60A Hyster forklift to start the engine and raise the forks. The forklift was in reverse gear and the transmission was in first or second gear when Employee #1 turned the ignition key. The engine started and the forklift rolled in reverse, pulling Employee #1 under the front tire. A coworker ran to help and moved the forklift off Employee #1, who rolled away. Employee #1 died as a result of his injuries. The forklift's parking brake was set but this did not prevent the vehicle from moving.
