Abstract: On August 25, 2012, Employee #1 made a 6.5 ft jump from a roof edge onto an elevated platform that held flooring. The flooring was laid across the forks of an all-terrain material handler forklift (Model Number JCB 506C) and positioned at an approximate height of 21 ft. The wood panel had dimensions of 8 ft by 4 ft by 0.75 in. and was scored underneath with an approximate 0.375 in. deep cut.
