Investigation Summary
At approximately 4:00 p.m. on September 5, 2013, Employee #1, a 20-year-old male laborer with Ultimate Personnel Services Inc., was operating a Crown standup forklift, Model Number RC3020, Serial Number 1A273276, under the direction of his supervisor. Employee #1 drove the forklift off a loading dock, falling approximately fifty-three inches. The forklift landed on Employee #1, resulting in serious leg injuries. Employee #1 was taken to the hospital, and Employee #1's left leg was amputated above the knee, as a result of his injuries. Casual factors surrounding this event, 1.) Employee #1 was not trained in the operation of seated or standup forklifts. 2.) Employee #1 was permitted to operate a standup forklift without training. 3.) The employer failed to ensure that a forklift operator was competent to operate a powered industrial truck safely. Ultimate Personnel Services was a staffing agency which placed employees at a secondary employer at the Los Angeles Produce Mart.
