Investigation Summary
On July 26, 2010, Employee #1, a welder's helper, and two coworkers were unloading 7ft wooden pallets filled with metal pipe supports from a truck using a rough terrain forklift. Employee #1 was placing the skid and acting as a safety observer on the right side of the forklift; coworker #1 was placing the skid and acting as a safety observer on the left side of the forklift; and coworker #2 was operating the forklift. The forklift's boom obstructed the view of coworker #2 during the placement of skids. For some reason, a third coworker, coworker #3, approached coworker #1 and caused a distraction. Coworker #3 thought he heard Employee #1 say "alright", which caused coworker #1 to signal to coworker #2 that it was safe to land the load. The right hand of Employee #1 was crushed between a wooden pallet and a skid. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
