Employee Strikes Head in Fall from Attic, Later Dies

At approximately 10:00 a.m. on January 2, 2012, Employee #1 and a coworker were storing packed Christmas decorations into an attic space above a storage room. Employee #1 pulled the attic door located on the ceiling down and unfolded a fixed ladder into position for use. The coworker retrieved a box of Christmas decorations as Employee #1 stood on the fourth step of the fixed ladder. The coworker handed the box of Christmas decorations to Employee #1 to place into the attic space. As Employee #1 was lifting the box for placement, he fell backwards hitting his head on the floor. Employee #1 was taken to Memphis Regional Hospital, where he died on January 13, 2012.
