Abstract: On July 22, 2009, Employee #1 was working in a warehouse. The warehouse had several rows of totes filled with beans. The totes were 3 ft by 3 ft by 4 ft and weighed two thousand pounds. They were stacked two high. One of the bottom totes had a hole in it. Employee #1 was on his knees, leaning toward the tote to repair it with duct tape. The bottom tote shifted which caused the top tote to topple over, trapping Employee #1 beneath the top tote and the spilled beans. Employee #1 was killed due to positional asphyxiation.
