Abstract: At 1:30 p.m. on January 31, 2017, an employee was attempting to pull heavy mesh tarp onto a metal frame shade house. The employee was standing on a manufactured work platform that was supported on the forks of a powered industrial truck. After the mesh tarp was attached to the work platform, the forklift operator backed up the forklift in order to pull the mesh tarp. As he backed up, the work platform slid from the forks and fell to the ground, ejecting the employee. The employee impacted the ground and suffered severe head trauma. The employee was killed.
