Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:30 p.m., on January 2, 2009, Employee #1 and Employee #2 were working from an elevated work platform. The work platform measured 28-ft long by 5 ft wide and was elevated by a rented Terex Model Number TH842C rough terrain forklift. The platform was elevated approximately 8 ft as the boom was being extended. This caused the forklift to lose its center of balance and the back tires to come off the ground. A load of ceiling material slid off the platform. The forklift regained its center of balance and bounced violently. Employee #2 jumped off of the platform when it was approximately six feet above the concrete floor. Employee #1 was catapulted up into the roof trusses. Employee #1 caught hold of the roof trusses but his legs were struck by the rebounding work platform railing, which caused him to lose his grip on the roof trusses. Employee #1 fell approximately 16 ft and his head struck the concrete floor. Employee #1 was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel.
