Investigation Summary
At 9:00 a.m. on May 31, 2012, Employee #1 was working on a lighting fixture at the roofline that was not functional and was standing in a shop built man-basket that was resting on the forks of a Catepillar V50C, 5000 lb lift capacity. The Catepillar was mounted on a flatbed trailer of a truck to extend it's height capacity. Another worker was operating the forklift and left it in position while he looked for a pair of gloves for Employee #1. Before departing, the worker did not set the parking brake. While the worker was gone, the forklift moved or tipped forward and Employee #1 was catapulted from the man-basket when the forklift hit an adjacent shear press. Employee #1 struck the floor about 20 feet away with his head and was killed immediately.
