Investigation Summary
On March 8, 2007, Employee #1 was assisting in the placement of a corner column on a second floor loft. A forklift had first placed the column at the designated area but the bottom portion of the column was out of alignment. Employee #1, using a sledge hammer, swung at the lower section of the column, which became dislodged. He lost his balance and held on to the column to keep from falling. He lost his grip and fell 38 ft to the ground and died.
