Investigation Summary
At 7:00 p.m. on July 18, 2012, Employee #1 was walking between a flat-bed trailer and a railing that runs along the East wall of the warehouse.

As it was unloaded, the 5,064 lb steel plate slid counter-clockwise from the forklift and struck Employee #1 on his back. Employee #1 was pinned to the ground by the steel plates and lacerated his spinal cord in its upper region. Employee #1 was killed from his injuries.
