Investigation Summary
On August 24, 2010, Employee #1 was operating a gas/LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) forklift. He was driving the forklift, which did not have a load, on an asphalt surface behind a department store. Employee #1 was turning to the right, when a rear wheel struck a rock. The rock caused the steering wheel to turn sharply, further to the right, which in turn caused the forklift to overturn. Employee #1 was wearing a seatbelt and remained in the forklift seat. His left foot was pinned and crushed under the forklift, resulting in amputation of his big toe. Employee #1's head was also scraped in the accident, but he did not lose consciousness. Employee #1 was transported to "Washington shock trauma", where he was hospitalized and underwent surgery for his injuries.
