Abstract: TWO EMPLOYEES WERE MEASURING THE OVERHEAD STEEL SUPPORTS OF THE ROOF AREA OF A COMPANY TRUCK SHOP. THE EMPLOYEES USED A "HYSTER" FORKLIFT TRUCK, SERIAL #C-005D 21421A, WITH A PALLET RESTING ON THE FORKS, AS A PLATFORM TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE STEEL SUPPORTS. THE SUPPORTS WERE ABOUT 10 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL. AS EMPLOYEE #1 WOULD STAND ON THE PALLET, EMPLOYEE #2 WOULD RAISE THE FORKS AND MOVE THE TRUCK FORWARD SIMULTANEOUSLY. DURING ONE OF THESE OPERATIONS, EMPLOYEE #1 WAS CRUSHED BETWEEN THE BACK BRACE OF THE FORKLIFT TRUCK AND THE OVERHEAD STEEL SUPPORTS. THE PALLET USED WAS NOT FIRMLY SECURED TO THE FORKS; NOR DID IT HAVE GUARDRAILS. THERE WERE NO MEANS WHERELY PERSONNEL ON THE PALLET COULD SHUT OFF THE POWER TO THE TRUCK IN AN EMERGENCY.
