Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was cutting the legs off a 6 in. I-beam on a free standing steel storage rack. When the last leg was cut from the rack, it tipped forward. The rack was holding two 2 in. thick sheets measuring 72 1/2 in. by 25 1/2 in. and 107 in. by 25 1/2 in. and weighing approximately 2,000 lb. As the rack tipped, the sheets fell on Employee #1 and crushed his chest. He died of asphyxiation.
