Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:45 a.m. on December 17, 1987, Employee #1 and a coworker were installing an overhead steam heater in a warehouse. Employee #1 was crouching on a wood pallet that was not firmly attached to the lifting device of a powered industrial lift truck. He was elevated approximately 7 or 8 feet holding the heater in place so that marks could be made for holding bolts. The pallet fell from the lifting device to the floor. The heater came down onto Employee #1, striking him in the head and upper body. He died of multiple injuries at 5:53 a.m. on December 18, 1987.
