Employee Is Caught Between Clicker Press and Printing Press

As the coworker was moving the Clicker Press with the forklift, Employee #1 was walking along side the forklift holding the Clicker Press because the Clicker Press was unstable on the forklift. As Employee #1 was going by the printing press on line 9, the Clicker Press fell over toward Employee #1, striking him in the chest area. Employee #1 was caught between the falling Clicker Press and the printing press of line 9.
