Employee Is Pinned by Forklift and Is Killed

On May 23, 2011, Employee #1, a forklift operator, was stacking loads of steel. When the steel was stacked, a dunnage was needed to protect and secure each load upon the stack. He exited the forklift while it was still running and placed the dunnage on top of the stack. Employee #1 did neither set the parking brake nor lowered the forks to the ground. The forklift rolled forward and pinned him between the load on the forks and the stack of steel. The compressive force of the forklift caused crushing injuries that killed him.
