Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:15 p.m. on July 27, 1993, Employee #1 was picking up a set of mechanic's tools between a pile of large crates and a large truck van. At the same time, a coworker was working at an adjacent pile lifting and pulling a large crate with a forklift. The crate was about 5 feet off the ground when the coworker realized that he had also lifted the protruding set of elevator corner posts attached with a metal band on the adjoining crate, which was located above Employee #1. The coworker was moving his forklift forward and putting the crate back when he broke the connecting band, causing the crate to fall on top of Employee #1. Employee #1 was hospitalized for 8 days with multiple injuries. The coworker has been doing the same job since 1980 without any accidents. According to the employer, Employee #1 was properly trained and had 7 years of experience. No malfunction of the equipment or procedures was found.
