Narrative

On April 25, 2023, an employee was participating in a training on the pallet jack battery charger. The employee was operating the pallet jack to line it up to the new battery. As he went to realign the vehicle, the reverse function was activated, and the pallet jack backed into a rack. The employee was pinned under the rack, resulting in a chest laceration that required hospitalization.
