Investigation Summary
On March 30, 2006, Employee #1, a warehouseman, was placing tires into and out of the elevated storage racks inside the warehouse. Employee #1 was riding on a wooden pallet that was elevated approximately 4 ft to 5 ft, as his coworker, a forklift operator was moving inside the warehouse. When the coworker operator pressed the brake to stop, Employee #1 flipped off the pallet and fell to the floor, striking his head. Employee #1 was not tied off, and the pallet was not secured to the forks of the forklift. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for his injuries.
