Incident on Jul 20, 2021: Employee injures back in fall with cage hoisted by forklift
At 10:30 a.m. on July 20, 2021, an employee was working as a laborer for a refridgerated warehouse. The employee was inside a safety cage which was raised on the forks of a forklift. A coworker operating the forlkift became distracted while backing up the vehicle at an accelerated rate. The safety cage crashed into a safety bollard that was protecting the B-South freezer door. This caused the cage to slide off the forks and plummet along with the employee approximately ten feet to the concrete floor. The employee was hospitalized to treat contusions to his back.
