Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was standing 104 in. above the ground atop a stack of 4 ft by 8 ft sheets of plywood, counting the loose sheets next to him. At the same time, a forklift was getting material to be counted from the adjacent aisle. A 2,800 lb, 40 sheet unit of particle board, 25 in. by 97 in., was jarred loose by the action of the forklift and fell onto the employee's upper torso. He was crushed and killed. The material then broke apart and fell to the ground, with Employee #1 falling on top of it.
