**Event**

At 10:45 a.m. on November 30, 2022, an employee was using an all-terrain forklift to elevate himself to perform welding at a covered parking structure. The employee welding steel pipes to the top and bottom of the structure. The employee welded the first steel pipe to the top right side of the structure, and then proceeded to weld the second steel pipe at the top center before climbing down the forklift carriage. While scaling down, the employee misplaced his foot and stepped on the back/forward and top/down control levers at the same time. Contacting the levers at the same time caused the employee to be crushed between the forklift carriage and cab safety bar. The employee was killed by crushing
