Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:25 a.m., on September 21, 2011 Employee #1 of NAMASCO, Inc. was injured. Employee #1 was being lowered on a platform attached to a forklift (Model H50J S/N F3D1689C). Employee #1 was hydrostatically testing a metal tank. As Employee # 4 lowered the platform (basket) from about "between 10 and 12 feet high" the "basket (platform) fell at high rate of speed toward ground." Employee #1 was cut under the chin and in the mouth and was knocked unconscious. Employee#2 and Employee #4 were witnesses. The accident was caused by using unsafe and unmaintained equipment. The failure to maintain the forklift caused the lift platform to fall. The Industrial Truck/Forklift had been written up three times for hydraulic leaks and stuck controls within 40 days of the accident. There was also a missing "Velocity Star Washer on the bottom (the) of Lift cylinder." The platform/basket violated several General Industrial Safety Orders.
