Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:15 a.m. on November 11, 1996, Employee #1 was using a 9 1/2 ft tall mobile stepladder to stack a 41 lb, 26 in. long by 18 in. wide by 19 in. high box of paper towels onto a storage shelf in a Office Depot store. Employee #1 lost control of the 41 lb package as he was attempting to load it onto the top shelf of the rack. Not wanting to drop the box, he tried to regain control of it but lost his balance and fell backward from the ladder platform. Employee #1's head struck the ladder treads and he later died as a result of his injuries.
