Investigation Summary
On May 28, 2008, Employee #1 and a coworker (his son) were at a farm, constructing a pole barn that was to be used as a garage. They were using a scissors lift to install a header beam in the doorway of the garage and had nailed one end to the support. As Employee #1 was moving the lift to the other side so they could secure that end of the beam, he struck the support pole with the lift and the beam fell off the support. The beam struck Employee #1's head, and he was killed.
