Investigation Summary
At 10:30 pm. on May 9, 2016, Employee #1 was taking off the top tray of mushrooms from the stack with his forklift and bringing it down, so that Employee #2 could manually remove the four spacers from the tray so that a stack of six trays could fit through the room bay door. Employee #3, next to Employee #1, was pulling a top stack of six mushroom trays with a forklift also. The stack became unstable and Employee #3 noticed the unstable stack and decided to get out of his forklift at the same time. The stack of trays fell from the forklift and hit against another stack of trays nearby and then crushed Employee #1. Employee #1 was killed from crushing and blunt force trauma.
