Investigation Summary
On December 19, 2002,Two stacks of wood plate trusses were hoisted by a truck crane and laid on the flat between two braced framed walls and then supported by two 2-ft by 4-ft posts. There were a total of fourteen individual trusses. While Employee #1, a carpenter supervisor, was on top of the horizontal trusses, the stack of trusses collapsed to the concrete slab, causing him to fall 11 feet. The falling trusses struck and killed the employee.
