Employee killed when struck by forklift

At approximately 2:00 p.m. on December 4, 1992, Employee #1 was operating a Hyster forklift in a recycle/trash collection area. He was carrying a long metal basket containing trash with the forks raised to the highest position. After Employee #1 dumped the trash into a dumpster, he attempted to stack the empty basket onto another basket. While maneuvering the forklift around, Employee #1 turned the steering wheel to its maximum and the forklift began to tip over. In an attempt to escape, Employee #1 jumped off, but landed in the path of the falling forklift basket and was killed. He had not been properly trained to use a forklift.
