Employer knew or should have known that the operator of a Gehl 553 Dynalift brand forklift, Serial Number J0104349, not at the controls while one employee was elevated in a work basket in excess of 11 feet high at southeast side of building, constituted a hazard of the lift shifting or of the employee falling or of the lift being struck by objects or other hazards and no way for the employee to get down.
