At 9:30 a.m. on March 26, 2012, Employee #1 was unloading a trailer of steel building joists (each joist weighed 6,800 pounds and was approximately 35 to 40 feet long). The joists were secured to the trailer with three fiber tie-down straps. Employee #1 released the tie-down straps and one of the joists rolled off the trailer, striking Employee #1 across the upper legs and amputating both legs. Employee #1 bled to death. There were no witnesses to the accident. Fellow employees heard the noise and found Employee #1 pinned under the joist. | |||||||
