Investigation Summary
On September 11, 2008, a worker was operating an all-terrain forklift with the boom elevated to remove a pallet of masonry blocks from inside of a structure. When the boom extended through a wall opening, it struck a concrete header. This caused the wall to collapse towards the interior of the structure. Employees #1 through #4 were struck by debris. Employee #1 was treated for a laceration. Employees #2 through #4 were hospitalized for unspecified fractures.
