Abstract: At 10:49 a.m. on February 24, 2015, Employee #1 was measuring the location of purlins and roof panels in preparation for installing a raised metal seam roof. Employee #1 was working from a man basket mounted on the forks of a Caterpillar TL1055 all terrain forklift, measuring and marking roof panel and purlin locations, when Employee #2 started moving the forklift northerly along the west wall of the steel frame aircraft hangar. Employee #1 was approximately 24 feet off the ground when the forklift started tipping forward and the rear of the forklift started to raise off the ground. Employee #2 started to retract the extended boom when the rear end of the forklift dropped back onto the ground. This action catapulted Employee #1 out of the man basket. Employee #1 fell and struck the dirt below, causing fatal head injuries.
