Investigation Summary
At 6:00 p.m. on January 26, 2015, Employee #1 and coworker employed by a construction contractor, were attempting to set a diesel fuel module in place to fuel a generator. A coworker was operating a forklift being used to move the fuel module. A fence and two cinder block walls were interfering with the workers moving the fuel module into place. The two workers decided to use the forklift's boom to lift the fuel module above and through an opening between the generator and the fence, and then lower the module so it could be attached to the generator's fuel inlet. As coworker operated the forklift with its fuel module load, Employee #1 stood forward of the load and walked from side to side, providing directions to his coworker. The coworker extended the boom, the forklift toppled forward, and the fuel module struck Employee #1 in the head. Employee #1 died a short time later.
