Investigation Summary
At 8:30 a.m. on March 26, 2024, an employee was offloading skylight boxes from a company vehicle while inside the bed of a pickup truck and parked on an incline at a construction site. The employee, a project engineer, was injured when he was lifting a skylight box weighing approximately 50 pounds by the perforated box handhold, and the box handle tore from where the employee was pulling the box. The employee fell backwards off the tailgate of the pickup truck and landed on his head. The tailgate of the pickup truck was open when the employee fell less than 4 feet onto the concrete/asphalt floor. He later died on March 31, 2024, from acute subdural hematoma and brain contusions due to blunt force head trauma. The factors that contributed to the accident were lack of training while offloading boxes.
