Event: 08/09/1994

Employee killed when van falls from collapsing cinderblock

Employee #1 was a maintenance worker at a mill and lumber yard. The company had recently purchased a new custom van and Employee #1 offered to install the shocks because he had owned an automobile-related business and was familiar with the work. One month after installation, it was discovered that the new shocks leaked. When Employee #1 began to install the replacement shocks, he supported the van by two concrete cinderblocks. One of the blocks collapsed under the weight of the van. Employee #1's chest was crushed and he died.
