Incident on Jun 6, 2018: Employee's legs are fractured when caught between van and pi
At 9:00 a.m. on June 6, 2018, Employee #1 was loading a cargo van, using a powered industrial vehicle (PIV). The employee lowered the load to the ground, put the PIV in neutral, set the brake, turned off the key, and dismounted the vehicle. The employee then manually pushed the load that was already in the van, to make room for the load on the forks. Employee #1 heard the forks scraping along the concrete. As he turned, the load shifted and pinned him against the back bumper of the van, fracturing both of his legs. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
