Investigation Summary
On July 5, 2005, Employee #1 and a coworker were unloading food bags, 50 pounds each, from a pallet inside a railroad car. A load of bags near adjacent, dual-stacked pallets became unbalanced and fell on Employee #1, fracturing his leg. Employee #1 was hospitalized for three days. The coworker stated that some stacked pallets had already become unbalanced inside the railcar during transition and the load fell when a pallet supporting the food bags, 5 to 9 ft high, broke due to defective wood parts. There was no forklift in use inside rail car and the bags were being unloaded manually by employees.
