Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 300755311
Event: 12/04/1997
EMPLOYEE INJURED WHEN CRUSHED BY COUNTERWEIGHT

At approximately 5:00 p.m. on December 4, 1997, Employee #1, a forklift operator, was loading rolls of sheet steel onto trucks for shipment. Employee #1 was using a Hyster Forklift that was too small to set the rolls onto the truck. Consequently, another roll weighing 9310 lbs was set on the top of the forklift's engine compartment as a counterweight. During the loading procedure, the counterweight slid forward into the operator's area when the forklift tilted forward. The counterweight pushed the operator's seat into the dashboard, fracturing the Employee #1's leg. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
