Abstract: Employees #1 and #2 were installing new post supports under a hay loft. They had installed 10 new posts when the accident occurred. The employees had placed a temporary post in place, with a 410-ton screw jack on top, to raise the loft enough to get the new post in place. When they started to raise the load, the crossbrace or support broke. This allowed the hay loft to drop, crushing one employee and injuring another. The injured employee was hospitalized.
