Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:00 p.m. on May 16, 1991, Employee #1 was performing her assigned duties as a quality control inspector. Three other inspectors were assisting her in taking samples of empty Barbasol cans. A forklift operator was positioning rows of pallets but leaving a walking space between the double-stacked pallets from which the inspectors took the cans. Employee #1 had been instructed to affix labels on various pallets. While she was between a row of stacked pallets, the forklift operator pushed the pallets together, pinning Employee #1. She died of compressional chest trauma.
