Employee killed when struck by falling stack of lumber

Employee #1 was using a forklift to unload a rail car of banded 2 by 4s. He had removed several bundles of 2 by 4s from the center of the rail car and was cleaning debris from that part of the car and preparing the side load by taking down the OBS boards from the side area. There were three 1,500 lb stacks of 2 by 4s, each three bundles high on the side. The top two bundles slid off and crushed Employee #1 against the floor of the rail car. He was killed.
