Investigation Summary
At approximately 3 p.m. on June 27, 2009, Employee #1, a worker at Juanita Foods, Inc., Wilmington, CA, was working in the Tempering room, removing tripe meat from the Cooler room in order for a crew to clean and paint the shelving system.

Each pallet weighed approximately 2,000 lbs. Pallets were stacked in three's which was approximately 10 ft in height. This approach was a team decision that included the Supervisor. Employee #1 suffered a crushed pelvis, a broken right leg, and a broken left leg injured from knee to ankle.
