Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on August 5, 2020, an employee, a crane operator, was moving three racks using a bridge crane. The employee did not use a strap to guide the load.

The employee was operating the crane by himself, and there we re no witnesses. Someone from the office heard the incident and found the emplo yee on the floor. The employee was hospitalized on August 5, 2020 but later died on August 12, 2020 as a result of his injuries.
