Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was assigned to adjust some stock at the top of a pallet, which required that he be raised from a guarded work platform. He had on a full body harness and was attached by a lanyard and chain to the top rail of the guardrail system. This allowed Employee #1 to exit the work platform and climb onto the pallet to adjust the stock. He was standing on the pallet when a piece of wood broke and he fell through up to his crotch. Employee #1 sustained bruises to his knee.
