Grocery stores are full of 16 yo osha stories. I sliced my thigh wide open trying to make box stock count over night. I was on my knees and it was a clean deep cut. I stayed on that night as we didn’t have health care. Just throw that box away and clean up the aisle after you bandage up.

a couple of months ago there was a story about a guy who fell behind the wall of freezers at a grocery store, got stuck, and died, and for an entire decade no one had any idea what had happened to him until they tore down the store and happened across his disintegrated body

I still can't believe the store I worked at (when I was 15!) put me in the lovely basket on a forklift and had me go to the third rack tier to grab some cereal or w/e. I was scared shitless, but didn't want to look like a wuss so I did it.

A basket sounds pretty fancy. The times I needed to grab something from the top tier in the freezer and I couldn't climb up like a monkey I'd just stand on a pallet while the forklift raised me up.

I thought it was pretty cool at the time, but now I realize how many ways things could have gone horribly wrong, both with the forklift thing and with simply freeclimbing two or three stories in a freezer.

I could see the rough‐cut edge of a hardwood pallet doing that to a person in shorts if it hit just right.

Here's my Forklift Story



A few years back I was working at a small warehouse. One morning I came in and a bunch of the guys were in the front parking lot looking at a cat that had gotten up on the roof and was up there meowmeowmeowing away. Eventually someone, we'll call him Steve, suggests using the forklift to raise a pallet (and person) up there to rescue it. This leads to a small debate:

"I don't think it'll even go that high dude"
"It totally will, it goes waaay higher than you'd think"
"I don't know..."
"Fine, watch this"

So Steve brings our little forklift around and starts raising it up. And up, and up easily getting to the height of the building.

And there, just as it reaches the farthest limit, the whole thing tips over sideways. The mast neatly
fitting between two parked cars. The forks however coming right down on Steve's car and basically cutting it in half.


Surprisingly, no one got hurt and the cat presumably just got down on his own.

A forklift tipping over on its side just from raising the mast makes it seem to me like there was a lot wrong with it.

It wasn't great, but the biggest issue was probably that the parking lot had a pretty good slope to it.


Which I had thought to include, but apparently forgot.

Oh we would have dreamed of a PVC safety rail. At a motorcycle shop which will remain nameless, we had overflow storage on the second floor of a barn. The "elevator" was a 4x8-ish platform on the forks of the forklift. Said forklift had no brakes, BTW. SOP was to put the bike on the platform, then maybe use tiedowns or maybe just have someone sit on it and balance it if we were in a hurry. I much preferred putting snowmobiles up there, they didn't get all wobbly.

I'm guessing it might need that missing link so it can to bend enough to fit on there. Then once it's on they can replace it with the correct link.
