Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Report for Michigan: Manufacturing Traffic Supervisor Dies When Struck by Forklift
On March 3, 2008, a 59-year-old male traffic supervisor, who was wearing a white hard hat, died when he was struck by a Yale clamp truck that was transporting a paper roll that was approximately 59 inches tall and 50 inches wide. The decedent, who was not using the designated pedestrian aisle way, was walking through the forklift travel area of the paper roll storage warehouse on his way to the shipping and receiving offices. The driver, who had entered the roll storage area through the doorway, was traveling in a forward direction (not trailing the load). He intended to place the roll in its appropriate place on 2- by 4-inch pieces of wood. The clamp truck/paper roll struck the decedent. The driver looked to his right on the ground and could see the decedent's body to the right of the truck's right tire. He immediately backed up and called for emergency assistance. Emergency response arrived. The decedent was declared dead at the scene.
