Investigation Summary
On April 25, 2003, Employee #1 was installing the third of four overhead radiators as part of a new wood kiln assembly. Employee #1 and one coworker were standing in an aerial lift basket at the elevated location where the kiln was to be set into place. The radiator was being lifted by a forklift. As coworkers were attempting to set one of the kiln's legs into a mounting pocket attached to an overhead metal joist, they lost control of the radiator, causing it to fall forward towards the aerial lift basket. The kiln then struck Employee #1's head and crushed it against the upper handrail of the aerial lift basket. Employee #1 was hospitalized for massive head injuries including skull fractures.
