Abstract: On August 10, 2004, Employee #1 was operating an overhead crane moving a 9000-lb stack of sheet metal. While moving the elevated load, Employee #1 kneeled down to move a wood brace. When Employee #1 stood up and looked to see the location of the load she realized the load was about to strike her and pin her against another stack of metal located directly behind her. Employee #1 hit the stop button on the crane remote control and moved the remote box to her hip to block the load from striking her. Employee #1 was pinned between the load on the crane and the stack of sheet metal behind her. Employee #1 was found after a coworker heard her screaming for help. Employee #1 was hospitalized and was being treated for her a fractured hip when she died.
