Incident Description

At approximately 10:30 AM on September 15, 2053, an incident occurred at Warehouse 3's loading dock. An employee, Jane Alvarez, was operating a forklift to load pallets onto a truck when the forklift's brakes failed. As a result, the forklift collided with a stack of pallets, causing a domino effect, and several pallets fell onto the truck's loading area.

Upon witnessing the incident, fellow employees rushed to the scene and immediately contacted the on-site medical team. Jane Alvarez was examined for injuries, and it was determined that she sustained minor bruising but was otherwise unharmed. Emergency services were not required.

 

The forklift was removed from the area, and the loading dock was temporarily closed to assess the damage and ensure safety. The maintenance team was called to inspect and repair the forklift's braking system.
