Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:15 p.m. on June 3, 2008, Employee #1 and tow coworkers were moving a steel rack loaded with a steel plate approximately 6-ft tall by 12-in. long, down a ramp having approximately a 7.5-degree slope with a Crown Counterbalanced Walkie Powered Industrial Truck (Model Number 30WBTL). One coworker was operating the powered industrial truck while Employees #1 and the other coworker were flanking each side of the steel cart holding the steel plate. Unexpectedly, the steel started pulling the powered industrial truck down the ramp. At that time, Employee #1, flanking the left side of the steel rack, apparently moved in front of the steel rack to try and stop the rack. Employee #1 sustained crushing chest injuries. Employee #1 was crushed between the concrete wall and the steel rack. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
