On Wednesday August 24, 2022 the operator of a 2DP600 forklift was returning unloaded from the truck loading area to the packaging area. While transitioning between 2 warehouse bays the driver was distracted by nearby activity and drifted into a support column. A piece of broken mirror came in contact with the driver's forehead causing a laceration that required 7 stitches.
