Description:

A Hispanic female laborer, working as a trash sorter, was run over by a forklift at a waste transfer and recycling station. The forklift operator was moving a trash bin with the forklift and was traveling in a forward direction. The load he was carrying when the incident occurred blocked the forklift operator's forward vision. The victim was walking in an area that was not intended for pedestrian traffic. The operator was not formally trained for the forklift he was operating. The CA/FACE investigator determined that, in order to prevent future occurrences, employers, as part of their Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) should: 1. Ensure all employees who operate forklifts are formally trained, licensed and retrained as required. 2. Ensure forklift operators' vision is not obstructed in the direction of travel. 3. Ensure employees, when walking to and from different work locations, only walk only in designated areas.
