Incident on Jun 10, 2020: Employee crushes foot in forklift accident

At 8:45 a.m. on June 10, 2020, Employee #1 was posting placard signage on pallets of shrink-wrapped rice products, which were placed in the staging area. This staging area was located in the warehouse area between Dock #5 and Dock #6. As Employee #1 applied placard signage to pallets, a coworker operated a propane Toyota forklift to move a double-stacked pallet of rice product into the staging area. The coworker noticed there was no additional room available in the staging area and decided that more room was needed to accommodate the additional orders. The coworker moved into the area backwards, with the load trailing. Coworker #1 did not see any people in the area and reoriented the forklift by 180 Degrees. The coworker looked to the left and looked to the right and honked the horn of the forklift before proceeding forward. As the coworker pushed the stacked pallets in unison, Employee #1 was still on the other side placing placards. Employee #1, while positioned in between a small gap created between two pallets of rice products, noticed that the pallet in front of him began to quickly move forward. Employee #1 quickly moved to the left in an attempt to escape the incoming crushing hazard. As Employee #1 moved out of the gap, Employee #1's right foot was crushed in between the pallet in front of him and another pallet behind him. This resulted in overnight hospitalization, surgery, and permanent disfigurement.
