Incident on May 28, 2019: Employee cuts head when struck by post pounder on platform
At 11:40 a.m. on May 28, 2019, an employee and a coworker were installing an eight foot tall deer fence around a nursery using ten foot T-posts. The coworker elevated the employee approximately three feet above working level using a Hyster 45 lift truck and a wooden pallet. The wooden pallet was not secured to the mast of the forklift and did not have a guardrail system. The employee was using a post pounder to pound the T-posts into the ground when the post pounder came off the T-post on the up motion and struck the employee in the head. The employee received a head laceration which required medical treatment to be closed with nine staples. The employee was not hospitalized.
