Employee Is Caught Between Forklift and Dumpster and Dies

At approximately 7:26 a.m. on July 26, 2010, Employee #1, an employee of Terik Roofing, was operating a Lull Rough Terrain Forklift, on a jobsite at a juvenile correction facility. Attached to the forklift's forks was a basket containing roofing material. Employee #1 emptied the basket's materials into a dumpster and was preparing to raise the forks and back up the lift, when he noticed a shingle hanging from the basket. Employee #1 got out of the forklift and walked between the front of the forklift and the dumpster to reach for the hanging shingle. For some reason, the forklift rolled forward pinning Employee #1 between the dumpster and the forklift. Medical personnel from the juvenile correction facility attempted to revive Employee #1. Employee #1 was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
