Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:30 a.m. on June 10, 1993, Employee #1 and a coworker were replacing a 12 ft by 12 ft overhead garage door that had been damaged when a vehicle had been driven through it during a recent fire in the facility. Employee #1 was attempting to free the cable assembly at the top south side of the door. The door cable (approximately 1/4 to 3/8 in.) was attached to a 2 in. by 6 in. L-shaped bracing approximately 20 in. by 30 in. The employee working on the cable assembly caused the already damaged wooden door to separate. Tension on the torsion spring assembly retracted the cable and bracing and the bracing struck Employee #1, fracturing his skull. The employee died of the massive head injury.
