Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:30 a.m. on December 26, 2009, maintenance employees were in the process of removing a 10 ft section of a steel beam above an assembly line at the Ford Motor Company truck plant in KY. The beam was being removed to allow room for installation of new equipment during a planned shut-down. To remove the beam, a JLG scissor lift was positioned at one end, and a Genie scissor lift was positioned at the other end to allow employees to disconnect the beam, which was over 11 ft above the floor. A Linde forklift was positioned in the center to cradle the beam. After one end was cut with a welding torch, the beam slid off the forks of the forklift and struck Employee #1, who was standing on the floor observing the work process. He was killed by injuries to his head and chest.
