A Helper was between two loads on a trailer bed. At the same time, a Foreman was guiding a forklift truck in loading a 3rd load at the rear of the trailer. The Foreman instructed the Forklift truck operator to push the 3rd load further on the trailer using the forklift tines. This also pushed the 2nd load causing the Helpers legs to become crushed between the 1st and 2nd load. The Helper suffered 2 fractures and a laceration to his right leg and 1 fracture to his left leg
