Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was in a wholesale distribution warehouse containing lawn and garden supplies and building hardware such as door knobs, locks, hinges, and housewares. He was pulling a four-wheel hand cart loaded with cartons and was heading toward a heavily traveled 90 degree turn around the end of a line of shelving. At the same time, an empty order picker approached the corner. As soon as the order picker rounded the corner, he saw Employee #1 an estimated 8 ft away and hit the deadman pedal, which cut off the electric power and set the brakes. By the time the cart stopped (which should have taken no more than 5 ft) the front of the order picker reached Employee #1 and pinned him between it and the hand cart pull bar. Employee #1 was hospitalized with strains/sprains to his back and shoulders, but he sustained no fractured bones or internal injuries. Rider truck platform trucks, motorized hand and hand/rider trucks, reach trucks, order pickers trucks, hand pallet jacks, and four wheel hand carts are used in the warehouse.
