Incident date: 2022-06-23
NAICS industry code: 237130

Two employees were unloading a walk-behind concrete saw from a trailer in a parking lot. A telescopic handler with forks was being used to carry the saw, suspended with a lifting strap. One of the employees was walking in front of/beside the telehandler, holding on to the handle to keep the saw from swinging. As they maneuvered onto a concrete pad, the wheel of the telehandler ran into and pinned that employee's right leg, knocking them over. The employee suffered a leg/foot injury that resulted in a muscular injury.
