Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:10 a.m. on October 16, 2012, Employee #1 was loading a service truck with electrical equipment. The employee was standing on the cargo bed section of the service truck guiding pallets of equipment delivered by a coworker forklift operator. One of the pallets carrying a 200-lb. crate was not exactly where Employee #1 wanted it placed. The employee grabbed the pallet by one of the top slats with both hands and began to pull it across the steel truck bed. The slat on the pallet pulled away from the pallet causing Employee #1 to lose his balance and stumble backward falling off the truck bed to the parking lot 52 inches below, and landing on his back. The employee was transported to Huntington Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for fractures to his back. Employee #1 remains hospitalized.
