Abstract: At approximately 5:30 a.m. on October 24, 2002, Employee #1 and 4, other coworkers working for Great Lakes Dredging & Dock Co. was working at a Baseball stadium working as a member of a clean-up crew. The Employee #1 and his coworkers were picking up trash bags from the stadium area and hauling them on electric carts to dumpsters in a designated area of the parking lot. The dumpsters measured 17 ft by 6 ft long, 7 ft by 8 ft wide, and 7 ft by 2 ft high. In order to place the trash bags in the dumpsters, they were using a forklift operated by another coworker. After they placed the trash bags on a wooden pallet, the coworker asked employee #1 to stand on the pallet while he elevated the pallet with the trash bags and Employee #1. Employee #1 was elevated about 7.5 feet and was throwing trash bags into the dumpster when he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Employee #1 suffered a laceration to the forehead and cuts to his right elbow.
