Employee's Fingers Are Amputated When Forklift Rolls Over

At approximately 11:15 p.m. on February 7, 2011, Employee #1 was operating a Hyster forklift through an outside trailer storage area to make a pick up. The forklift's left front tire hit a steel wagon stop that was secured to the concrete lot to hold trailers in place. As the accident occurred, Employee #1 instinctively grabbed the overhead forklift rollover cage. His right fingers were crushed between the cage and the concrete. Employee #1 was hospitalized for four amputated fingers. At the time of the incident, the lighting level was low and the wagon stops were not visible from the operator's position.
