Investigation Summary
At 10:29 a.m. on July 25, 2016, an employee was pulling a bundle of 2x4's from the head of a trailer to the face so that it could be picked by a forklift. A bundle is two units of 2x4's that measured approximately 8 feet in length, held together by metal straps. The bundle involved contained 416 pieces of wood (2x208) and weighed approximately 6,000 lbs. As the employee approached the door of the trailer, he turned to face a coworker, who was sitting on the forklift waiting for the employee to finish bringing the bundle to the door. The coworker noticed that when the employee turned, the pallet jack did not stop where it was supposed to. The employee did not apply the brake on the handle (which lowers the forks of the pallet jack, thereby dropping the load to the working surface). The coworker shouted at the employee to hit the brake or jump out of the way. The employee did neither. As the pallet jack reached the end of the trailer, the employee was pushed out and fell to the ground and the pallet jack and bundle of lumber followed, landing on top of the employee and fatally crushing him. The employee died from multiple blunt force trauma injuries to the head and torso.
