Investigation Summary
On January 6, 2003, Employee #1 was conducting cleanup operations in a dirt field. A coworker was operating an Allis Chalmers forklift that was being used to move the cantilever metal storage rack. Employee #1 was being assisted on the ground with the preparation of relocating the cantilever metal storage rack to the pre-designated location near the employer's outer perimeter of the dirt field. The forklift operator reached the location where the rack was to be placed on the ground: the outer perimeter of the employer's property line located adjacent to the rear portion of the business establishment next door. Employee #1 stated he was working between the backside of the wall and the front of the cantilever rack. Employee #1 was placing the boards he had been carrying on the ground beneath the outer frame of the cantilever metal rack. Employee #1 stated that the cantilever metal rack on the forks suddenly shift and he attempted to move out of the way.
