While operating a forklift one of the hydraulic hoses broke spraying oil towards the employee and got in his eye.
Employee walked behind a backing forklift and got his left foot run over by the steering tire. Forklift operator had checked behind him and the backup alarm was operating, however the employee walked into the forklift' s path, apparently unaware the machine was moving or distracted by some other activity.
Inattention by worker and loader operator. Back of worker's foot contacted by loader bucket.
Forklift was very dusty, reducing traction on the footrest.
