WorkSafe Victoria argued Oxford Cold Storage's negligence was to blame for the fatal incident and for post-traumatic stress suffered by another worker.

The County Court last month heard that Rahman Memishi suffered post-traumatic stress disorder and depression after Stephen Peluso, 38, was killed in April 2005.

Mr Memishi was driving a forklift loaded with two pallets of butter at the Hume Road factory when Mr Peluso walked in front of it.
