Abstract: At 6:00 a.m. on March 1, 2017, Employee #1 and Coworker #1, employed by a wholesale supplier of glass products, were loading a delivery truck. Employee #1, a senior employee, was training Coworker #1, a new employee, in how to use an overhead crane to load delivery trucks. Coworker #1, who was operating the crane, struck a nearby crate that weighed approximately 3,700 pounds. Employee #1, who was working from the floor, attempted unsuccessfully to stabilize and secure the struck crate. The crate fell on top of Employee #1, and Employee #1 was pinned under the crate from his torso down. The crane was used to lift the crate from the injured senior employee. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for unspecified injuries.
