Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:00 p.m. on April 21, 2009, Employee #1 was repairing swamp coolers located on a roof. As employee #1 was lowered to the ground, the forklift malfunctioned and the forks dropped with increasing speed and suddenly stopped. The force generated by the falling and stopping forklift ejected Employee #1 from the pallet. He struck the shop wall and then fell to the ground, suffering fractures in both feet and right leg. Employee #1 was transported to a medical center, where he underwent surgical procedures, including amputation of the severely fractured limbs. Following the treatment, he was hospitalized.
