Running lift truck runs over helper.
A lift truck was carrying a cart on the fork, and repair tools were in the cart. While running, part of the tools in the cart threatened to fall off due to the truck's vibration. At the sight, a nearby worker ran up to the lift truck to push the falling tools back to the cart, but he was run over by the truck and had his leg broken.



Corrective Action
1. Do not get near a running lift truck. Signal the operator to stop the truck and then walk up to him.
2. Fasten loose cargos, or put them in a large box and carry it on a pallet.
3. Run a lift truck at the lowest speed possible, leaving a leeway for the operator to pay good attention to the conditions of floor surface, neighborhood, cargos, etc.
