Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was moving an electric stand-up pallet jack when the cord from the overhead battery charger became tangled with the pallet jack's wheel. As the vehicle moved, the 200 lb charger was pulled off its 8 ft high storage shelf, striking Employee #1 and pushing his head forward. He sustained a laceration that required four stitches to close and a compression fracture of two lumbar vertebrae. He was transported to Frederick Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released.
