Investigation Summary
Three employees were trapped between a portable work platform and a ledge on a metal shredder machine. The platform was new, had been fabricated on the job, and was much heavier than the previous one. Either something shifted causing the support to break or the support broke causing the platform to shift and drop. All three employees were crushed. Employee #1 was killed. Employee #2 was hospitalized with unspecified injuries and Employee #1 suffered an amputation and was hospitalized.
