Abstract: Employee #1, a laborer, was pushing copper cooling plates weighing over 250 lb along a 24 in. high, horizontal conveyor system toward the edge of a 45 ft high platform. There was a 23 in. long gap in the midrail of the metal guardrail system that surrounded the open sides of this platform, creating a 23 in. wide by 45 in. high opening in the guardrail. Apparently, Employee #1 fell through this opening and onto a pile of cooling plates. He was killed.
