A pedestrian was taking bags of garbage to a dumpster and walked around a ladder that was in the forklift drive aisle. At the same time a forklift driver was traveling on the forklift drive aisle and looked out the left front of his field of vision and saw a yellow shirt. The driver slammed on the brakes and tried to veer to the right to avoid the pedestrian but ended up striking the pedestrian 's lower back with the extended push plate. The pedestrian stumbled forward and tried to regain balance but ended up falling to the ground striking their shoulder on the concrete floor.
