Abstract: On August 19, 2008, Employee #1 was welding steel pipes, approximately 40-ft long and weighing 11,000 lb. The steel pipes were on saw horses and were secured with clamps. The beams extended out into aisle ways and doorways, when a forklift came into the area to retrieve some pallets. The forklift hit the steel pipes, thus knocking them off the saw horses, and crushing the Employee #1's right leg. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
