Abstract: On May 20, 2011, Employee #1 was working alone at the palletizer and engaging in material cleanup activities. A coworker discovered Employee #1 nonresponsive on the concrete floor.

The floor and walking surfaces were free of debris, clean, dry and level. After discovering Employee #1 was nonresponsive, the coworker summoned emergency medical personnel. They arrived and transported him to a hospital, where he died the next day. The cause of death was a fracture between the C1 and C2 vertebrae.
