Employee Is Injured When Struck by Forklift Forks

At approximately 12:45 p.m. on October 16, 2007, Employee #1 was using a Hyster S50 XL, 5,000-lb forklift that had a lifting boom on the forks. The boom, which was not attached to the mast, measured 158 inches and is used to remove the sleeve from a spiral conveyor system. The sleeve of the conveyor was measured at 201 inches and weighed 820 pounds. As weight was added to the boom and forklift, the boom broke in the middle and began to slide off the end of the forks. This loaded the forks like a spring board and as the boom came free of the forks, the forks flipped up and off the mast. The forks then fell into the cab of the forklift, striking Employee #1 and fracturing his right leg. He was hospitalized for his injury.
