Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:20 a.m. on January 9, 2003, Employees #1 and #2 were working from an elevated work platform, 29.5-feet high, to install a nailer board around a window opening. The work platform was positioned on a forklift, which was initially positioned at an incline to raise the two employees. Once at the necessary height the operator attempted to level the forklift, but had difficulties. The forklift overturned and Employees #1 and #2 rode the platform to the ground. Both men were hospitalized and treated for their injuries. Employee #1 died the next day due to a massive head injury and Employee #2 suffered a broken ankle and a 2-inch to 2.5- inch cut by his rectum.
