Investigation Summary
On August 3, 2009, Employee #1 was working in a peanut butter processing facility. The first step of peanut butter processing requires large containers of peanuts, called totes, to be double stacked, prior to their movement to the hopper. While bending down to repair a tear in the bottom container, or tote, the top tote toppled over onto Employee #1, crushing and killing him.
