THE OPERATOR ATTEMPTED TO EASE THE VEHICLE SLOWLY BACK TO GAIN CLEARANCE TO TURN. THE GAS PEDAL STUCK SLIGHTLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH, PINNING AND CRUSHING THE SPOTTER BETWEEN THE FORKLIFT AND A POLE RESULTING IN FATAL INJURIES. CITATION: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN CLEARANCE BETWEEN A FIXED OBJECT AND THE VEHICLE. NWACC Business & Industry Workforce Development Institute N - ‹#› CASE STUDY #2 KILLED BY TOPPLED FORKLIFT NARRATIVE: AN EMPLOYEE WAS TRANSFERRING MATERIAL FROM A LOADING DOCK TRAILER TO A WAREHOUSE LOCATION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OFF OF THE SIDE OF THE DOCK RESULTING IN A LATERAL TIPOVER OF THE VEHICLE AND FATAL OPERATOR INJURIES. CITATION: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE DOCK AND THE VEHICLE. NWACC Business & Industry Workforce Development Institute N - ‹#› CASE STUDY #3 KILLED BY TOPPLED FORKLIFT NARRATIVE: AN EMPLOYEE WAS TRANSFERRING MATERIAL FROM A STACKED PALLET STORAGE LOCATION TO THE WAREHOUSE FLOOR. THE OPERATOR BEGAN MOVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE LOAD EXTENDED BEFORE LOWERING THE LOAD, RESULTING IN A CENTRIFUGAL OVERLOAD AND TOPPLING. THE OPERATOR WAS CRUSHED BY THE VEHICLE.
