Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:30 a.m. on February 29, 2012, Employee #1 was moving steel beams using a forklift. Employee #1 was using the Terex forklift model GTH-842, serial #024598 to lift a 50 foot steel beam. Employee #1 needed to move the steel beam to gain access to pallets of steel decking. The employee raised the steel beam approximately 9 feet and then left the cab of the forklift to place a cribbage underneath. The steel beam fell from the forklift and struck Employee #1 on the head and chest area. The 50 foot (5,000 pound) steel beam killed Employee #1.
