Abstract: At approximately 10:15 a.m. on August 13, 2001, an employee was in the process of unloading three truck trailers by forklift. The items being unloaded were various sized metal components to a flow rack system with the largest component being horizontal members measuring 8 ft by 12.5 ft and estimated to weigh 150 lbs each. The employee dismounted the forklift outside of the trailers to stage the components upright against the southeast wall of the building, when five of the components fell striking him on the left side of his head and pinning him against the forklift. The employee sustained trauma to the head, upper torso and multiple abrasions to the neck, shoulders, chest and back.
