It was found that the lift truck had been going round a corner when its driver performed an emergency stop in order to avoid hitting a member of staff. However the sudden breaking cause a steel coil situated on the forks to fall off pinning the man to the ground. The court found that no risk assessments had been carried out and that there was no safe system to safely separate pedestrians from vehicles on the site.
