Worker suffers severe forklift injury at Chicago's McCormick Place
Forklift operator not trained or certified
OSHA has cited Global Experience Specialists with four violations -- including one willful -- after a worker was injured in a forklift incident at Chicago's McCormick Place Convention Center in September 2012. The Las Vegas-based trade show and exposition contractor faces proposed fines of $91,000.
An employee from another company working in the convention center severely injured his foot when he was struck by a Global Experience Specialist worker operating a powered industrial truck. After the incident, Global Experience Specialists failed to train or check the certification of the forklift operator.
