Investigation Summary
At 4:10 a.m. on July 2, 1998, Employee #1, a tractor/trailer driver for a fencing materials distributor, arrived at work and started to secure a load on a flatbed trailer. The trailer had been loaded the prior afternoon with pallets of nine rolls of chain-link fencing, laid on their sides, three layers high and wrapped with plastic sheeting. Each pallet load was approximately 72 in. by 45 in. by 44 in. tall, and they were loaded two-high, using a forklift. To secure the load, Employee #1 threw the straps over it. He placed one strap in the fastener and began tugging when the bottom pallet broke and the load shifted. It fell on Employee #1, crushing his left leg and fracturing his right leg.
