Investigation Summary
On December 2, 1999, the employees from Davids Sheet Metal were coupling sections of I-beams together. The bottom holes on the I-beams did not match up. In order to close the gap, a fork lift was used to raise the I-beam sections. The I-beams were not secured to the forks mast or forks. As the I-beam sections were raised, the steel beams slid off the forks and struck Employee #1 standing near the forks of the lift. Employee #1 was killed.
