Employee Is Electrocuted and Killed

On April 04, 2009, Employee #1 was working at a wholesale vegetable distributor and tomato repacker with duties that included greasing and adjusting machinery, forklifts and pallet jacks.

Two coworkers were driving by the maintenance shop in a forklift when they saw Employee #1 near the work bench, on the floor unconscious, along with the microwave. The investigation revealed that Employee #1 had decided to work on the microwave, forgot to unplug it first and was electrocuted. Employee #1 was killed.
