Investigation Summary
On September 16, 2011, Employee #1 was working in a shop. His helper went to the tool room to get a wrench. While the helper was gone, there was a loud noise. Everyone came and saw Employee #1 lying on the floor. A tower (large shelving unit frame being manufactured) had fallen and possibly struck Employee #1 on the head. Apparently, Employee #1 landed on an angled pallet. Employee #1 was bleeding from his head and back, but he was conscious. Persons in the shop applied pressure to his wounds. Employee #1 was airlifted to a UMC Hospital in Lubbock, TX, where he died as a result of his wounds.
