Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was counting inventory in a warehouse. He was 16 ft above the floor on a railed wooden platform elevated by a forklift. As Employee #1 worked, the platform tipped to one side and began to break. Employee #1 was thrown against the railing, which broke. He fell, twisted in the air, and managed to land on his feet, shattering both heels when he landed on the concrete floor. The employer had directed the foreman to purchase a certified safety platform for lifting personnel to count inventory. Instead, the foreman had obtained a railed wooden pallet, left behind by an earlier construction crew, and had been using the pallet as a platform for over a year before the accident.
