Investigation Summary
On March 17, 2006, Employee #1 fell 24 ft from a wooden box that was elevated using a rough terrain forklift truck. The operator of the forklift truck directed Employees #1 and #2 to enter the box, and he elevated them to the roof of a building to retrieve a piece of equipment. When Employee #2 stepped out of the box at the roof, the shift in weight caused the box to tilt to one side and fall. Employee #1 who was inside the box also fell. Employee #1 was not wearing fall protection and suffered severe injuries. He was hospitalized with multiple fractures to his body.
