Final narrative
An employee was being trained to operate a yard truck to move trailers in and out of docks and to place them in storage areas. The employee was standing inside the yard truck cab as the trainer demonstrated how to operate the yard truck. As they performed a tug test, the truck jolted forward, causing the employee to sustain a lower back strain. The employee experienced numbness of the toes, bilateral leg weakness, and back pain that required hospitalization.

An employee was in a boom lift when the vehicle struck a hole then stopped abruptly. The impact ejected the employee and his fall protection pulled him back into the basket. The employee possibly struck the basket and was hospitalized for a leg fracture that required surgery.
An employee was operating a three-wheeled forklift to hoist metal material with a sling system. While driving downhill in a gravel driveway, the front tire caught a root and the forklift lost momentum. This caused the hoisted material to sway and the forklift tipped forward. Inside the forklift, the employee struck against the dash and roof of the cage, sustaining a contusion to the forehead, abrasions to both legs, and later had a seizure.
An employee was moving gravel with a skid steer. The skid steer lunged forward and the employee fell backward. The employee's feet were caught between the standing plate and the framing above it, and both ankles were broken.
An employee was moving a bulldozer from one portion of the site to another. The bulldozer traveled over a mound of dirt. The blade got caught in the dirt on the opposite side of the mound and the dozer came to a sudden stop. The driver was propelled out of his seat and his head struck the top of the cab. The employee suffered two fractured vertebra and weakness in his right hand and leg.
An employee was using a construction vehicle to push a scraper in front of him to align it. He engaged his push block, and it went over the push bumper. When the scraper came off, the force thrashed him around inside his cab. The control arm/joystick punctured his abdomen.
