Abstract: On November 30, 2000, Employee #1, a part-time maintenance man, and another maintenance worker were placing Christmas trees onto a platform, called a "plant platform." This platform was six feet above the floor in the front and nine feet above the floor on the backside of the platform. The platform had no guardrails or other type of fall protection. Employee #1 climbed an 8-foot stepladder to gain access to the platform. Once Employee #1 was on the platform, the other employee lifted a 6-foot tree to him. The tree tipped to one side, and Employee #1 fell from the platform, striking his head on the floor. He was airlifted to a local hospital where he died the following day from severe head injuries.
