Abstract: At approximately 4:45 p.m. on August 27, 2016, Employee #1 was part of a crew stacking components near a row of empty steel racks. There were six steel rack bays being dismantled that were 22 foot high. All the baseplate anchor bolts had been removed. A coworker, president and crew supervisor, used the forks of a reach truck to unseat a lower steel cross member and lifted the two end racks. The outer span of a rack knocked into the adjacent span causing both to topple over. Employee #1 was killed when he was struck by and crushed by the falling steel.
