Event description
Employee sustains toe amputation while operating forklift
Investigation abstract
At 7:00 a.m. on July 14, 2025, Employee #1 was conducting daily performance checks of a Raymond 750 Standup Forklift. While backing the forklift from the docking station, the employee stepped off the operator's platform with his right foot and planted it in the track path of the rear right wheel. As the forklift continued to move backward, the rear right wheel ran over the employee's right foot. The employee was wearing steel-toed boots, which compressed under the forklift's weight and caused amputation of the little toe on the right foot. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
