Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170628671
Event: 10/23/1997
Two employees injured in fall when building frame collapses

Employees #1 and #2 were disassembling a 42 ft tall metal warehouse building. The structure had been completely stripped except for a few roof purlings and the frame was not secured. The employees were riding in a manbasket attached to a Caterpillar forklift R-80, serial #90197, when for some reason the building collapsed. The building frame struck the manbasket, causing the forklift to overturn. Employees #1 and #2 fell approximately 18 ft, landing on the ground and on parts of the steel building frame. Both sustained serious injuries, for which they were hospitalized.
