Employee Pinned by Forklift and Sustained Leg Fractures

At approximately 11:30 a.m. on February 15, 2006, Employee #1, a maintenance mechanic, was changing the rubber piece on the bucket of a Caterpillar loader (Model Number 966).

The forklift was running with its parking brake on. Employee #1 was standing between the forks to align the bucket edge holes with the holes of the rubber piece when the forklift inadvertently moved forward pinning his legs. He sustained serious right leg fractures above the knee and was taken to a medical center for treatment. Surgery was performed and he was hospitalized for three days.
