Investigation Summary
On July 27, 2004, Employee #1 and a coworker were installing a rolled section of linoleum (approximately 15 ft, 6 in. long and weighing 800 to 1,000 lbs) into a modular home. The coworker used a Toyota Fork Truck (Model Number 02-5F630) with a lifting device to raise the linoleum. The lifting device was comprised of a rod that projected out approximately 8 ft 6 in. While the material was being lifted and the fork truck was moved, the material fell off the lifting device and struck Employee #1's head and right shoulder. This fractured his neck and killed him.
