Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170171003

Event: 10/10/1990

Employee's skull fractured in fall from lumber stack

Employee #1 was placing a load of 1 in. by 8 in. fence boards into a 3-tier, metal frame lumber rack. The load was too high to fit into the center tier, so Employee #1 climbed atop the rack. He stood on a 2 3/4 in. wide I-beam on the rack, removed the top two levels of boards from the unit, and stacked them on the top tier. As he was climbing off the rack, he placed a foot on the end of the boards. The boards shifted, causing him to lose his balance and fall approximately 4 ft to the concrete yard surface. He struck his head on the lumber rack structure and suffered a fractured skull. The employer was cited for failure to provide proper access, and failure to provide a work platform at least 2 ft wide.
