Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 200012292
Event: 07/16/2005
Employee Falls From Elevated Basket And Dies

On July 16, 2005, Employee #1 was working from an elevated metal basket attached to a fork truck. The basket was attached to the fork truck by wrapping one end of a chain around the farthest left end of the Load Backrest Extension. A chain link on the other end of the chain was welded to the metal basket. A single grab sling was attached to the basket and the other grab end was attached to the end of an overhead chain on a trolley system. This end of the chain was attached to a new chain so that when the old chain was pulled using the sling, the new chain would replace the old chain. When the fork truck moved backwards in an attempt to pull down the old chain, the chain holding the basket to the fork truck broke at the welded spot, ejecting Employee #1. Employee #1 fell onto concrete, sustaining head injuries. Employee #1 was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at 7:55 a.m. on July 17, 2005.
