Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on March 23, 1999, Employee #1 was straightening boards on a table that was three-quarters full. A board came off the return conveyor and struck the end of the board that Employee #1 was holding. This board struck Employee #1 in the abdomen, causing him to double over and stumble backward. He fell between the rails of the guarded platform, dropping 9 ft 7 in. to the concrete floor. Employee #1 suffered severe skull fractures. He was transported to the hospital, where he died two days later of injuries sustained in the accident.
