Investigation Summary
On June 30, 2014, an employee was completing a quarterly inventory while standing amongst stacks of aluminum sows which were relatively uniform pieces of metal to be melted and alloyed into a final product form. Each sow weighs approximately 1,500 lbs and the stacks of sows were placed on an asphalt surface. The employee was crushed when one stack of ten sows tipped over, falling on top of the employee. The employee was killed with severe internal injuries to multiple organs, circulatory system, and respiratory system as well as multiple physical injuries.
