Incident on Dec 12, 2016 (fatal): Employee killed when run over by a rough terrain forklift
At 2:08 p.m. on December 12, 2016, an employee was killed after being run over by a powered industrial vehicle. After dismantling a wood pallet that a hydraulic cylinder had been shipped on, Employee #1, a 55 year old male union carpenter, walked back to the company trailer to pick up a jacket/ sweater due to the cold weather. Employee #1 walked behind and was struck by a rough terrain forklift (Xtreme XR1045), as it was backing up performing a snow plow pass. A coworker, an equipment operator was performing snow removal operations. The rough terrain forklift operator did not know he had struck Employee #1, he thought he ran over a piece of ice. The coworker went forward striking Employee #1 a second time. Employee #1 sustained multiple injuries throughout the body and was pronounced dead at the scene.
