Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and Employee #2 were in a "cage type" work platform supported by the forks of a powered industrial truck. Employees #1 and #2 had just installed an overhead steam line. As the cage was being lowered, a corner of the cage contacted the top of an open door of a nearby machine. The cage tilted and fell off the forks, and landed on top of Employee #1, seriously injuring him. Employee #2 suffered serious injuries in the fall of approximately 10 ft. to the concrete floor. The cage was designed to be used with trucks having 5-in.-wide forks that would be inserted into enclosed channels on the bottom of the cage. The cage was being used with a truck having 6-in.-wide forks that would not fit into the enclosed channels of the cage and was not secured to the truck in any other way.
