Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:02 a.m. on November 29, 2004, Employee #1 was working at a distribution center for general merchandise. In this distribution facility, there is an aisle that is designated for forklift traffic that lies between Employee #1's work station and the receiving dock. Employee #1 had stepped away from her work station to talk with a coworker, which positioned Employee #1 in the aisle with her back to her work area and facing the receiving dock. Simultaneously to Employee #1 finishing talking with her coworker and turning around to begin walking back to her work area, a forklift was travelling across her intended path. The forklift ran over her right foot, causing severe lacerations to her foot and big toe. Employee #1 was transported to Desert Valley Hospital, where she was hospitalized and underwent surgery on her foot. The accident investigation revealed that the forklift operator was properly trained and certified in the operation of the forklift, and was operating in accordance with proper procedure. However, Employee #1 was not using proper safety shoes, wearing enclosed canvas shoes at the time of accident.
