Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:00 p.m. on October 25, 1993, Employee #1 had overloaded a bin. Because the shift switch did not activate the shift to another bin, Employee #1 would have to manually switch the loading leg. Employee #1 notified a coworker of the situation. The coworker ran the controls while Employee #1 climbed the tower. After switching the leg, Employee #1 climbed down the fixed ladder. At approximately 18 feet from the ground, an I-beam, less than 7 inches from the rungs, was attached to the ladder. Employee #1, who was wearing white cotton work gloves, lost his grip at the I-beam and fell to the ground. Employee #1 later died at the hospital from head injuries.
