Investigation Summary
Employee #1, age 19, and a coworker were directed to deliver approximately 120 bundles of shingles to a residential construction site. The shingles were stacked on three pallets and had been loaded onto a GMC top-kick truck with an elevating bed. When they arrived at the site, the truck bed was elevated to approximately 14 ft to transfer the shingles to the roof. Employee #1 climbed onto the elevated truck bed, at which point the truck bed leaned to one side causing the pallets of shingles to slide. Employee #1 fell from the truck bed onto a porch below, and the three pallets of shingles landed on top of him. He was killed instantly.
