An employee was operating a forklift on the roadway near a building. While backing up, the rear tires left the pavement and sank into the soft ground causing the forklift to flip onto its side. The employee s right leg and foot were trapped underneath the forklift resulting in multiple broken metatarsals.

An employee was driving a utility vehicle and making rounds in the facility.

The employee sustained a dislocated left ankle.

An employee was driving a telehandler (forklift) on a rural road with drainage ditches on both sides of the road. A tube of grease rolled near the operating pedals of the telehandler and when the operator bent over to grab the tube, the telehandler veered off the road. The tires of the telehandler slid on wet grass and went into a ditch. When the telehandler got to the bottom of the ditch (approximately 15 feet below), it tipped over onto the cab's passenger side. The employee was wearing a seatbelt and struck the interior structure of the telehandler cab and sustained a fractured right clavicle requiring hospitalization.

A crane operator was transitioning a crane from a slope to a flat surface when the crane began tipping over. The operator jumped from the cab of the crane and landed on the bridge deck as the crane overturned on the bridge. The employee was hospitalized with an injury to the left arm.
