Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:15 p.m. on May 15, 2007, Employee #1, a forklift operator, was working in a cold room storage warehouse. He was standing on top of a second tier storage rack 10 feet in height, attempting to clear a pallet loaded with lettuce. Employee #2 was operating the forklift from the lower level, assisting Employee #1 in clearing the jammed pallet. Employee #2 was lifting the bottom of the pallet with the mast of the forklift, when the load on the jammed pallet started to fall towards Employee #1. Employee #1 tried to move to the side of the pallet, but the load hit his leg and landed on his right ankle. Employee #1 was pinned on the second tier portion of the rack, between the load on the pallet and the rollers on the rack. Employee #2 called the dispatcher for help. Emergency services arrived within 15 minutes and were able to bring Employee #1 down from the rack. He was transferred to Monterey Community Hospital with a fractured right ankle. He was hospitalized for his injury.
