Investigation Summary
On August 24, 1987, Employee #1 was removing a steel tailgate from a semi-trailer when the tailgate fell, striking and killing him.

No written instructions were available; however, the plant manager reported that the usual procedures were not being followed at the time of the accident. Employee #1 had approximately 35 years of experience in scrap metal operations and had worked at this location for 4 years. He had no known physical defects.
