Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and a coworker were inside a dumpster looking for a machine part that they thought had fallen into a scrap basket and been dumped into a hopper that was now in the dumpster. Another coworker came out and watched. The machine operator then came outside and called for the Employee #1 and the coworker to get out of the dumpster and stop looking for the part. The coworker left but Employee #1 did not. Employee #1 instructed the other coworker to move the forklift with the hopper on the forks. Employee #1 remained in the dumpster as the coworker lifted the hopper. Employee #1 stretched up his arms to hold onto the hopper, which then fell on him and killed him. The coworker was unaware that Employee #1 was holding on to the hopper. Forklift training was provided. The employer did not know that employees were outside in the dumpster.
