Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 p.m. on April 9, 2007, Employee #1 was working as a truck and tractor equipment operator in a warehouse. His employer was a retailer of home improvement hardware and merchandise. Employee #1 had worked for the employer for three weeks as a full-time employee. He was operating a Raymond "Pacer"-model forklift, with Serial Number R338, in the north pallet strip area of the warehouse. He was going east to the parking area, when he came upon a post in his way. He tried to swerve the forklift to the right, but it went left instead. Employee #1 lost control, and his left lower leg was pinned between the forklift and the warehouse's rack storage system. He sustained a fracture, and he was hospitalized.
