Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on June 27, 2012, Employee #1 and Coworker #1, full-time employees of Zim Industries, Inc. DBA Bakersfield Well & Pump Co., were working in a nut orchard where their employer had been hired to drill a water well. They were sitting a sample box on a mud pit using a chain attached to the forks of a powered industrial lift truck, John Deere Model JD486-4WD-21-6, s/n: T0486EX842243, rated capacity: 6,000 lbs, unit # B932. Employee #1 was standing on the right fender of the lift truck and leaning forward between the mast upright and the overhead guard. Coworker #1 was sitting in the operator's seat of the lift truck. Employee #1's foot came into contact with the mast tilt control, causing the mast to tilt in a reverse direction and pinning him between the mast upright and the overhead guard. Employee #1 sustained the following crush injuries: lacerated liver, multiple left rib fractures, adrenal hematoma, right kidney laceration, and multiple spinous process fractures. The causal factors were that Employee #1 entered the area between the upright mast and the overhead guard, and the upright mast tilted in a reverse direction, crushing him in between the mast and the guard.
