Incident on Jan 28, 2016 (fatal): Employee crushed and killed when stone slab bundle breaks
At 2:30 p.m. on January 28, 2016, an employee was assisting a forklift operator to move a bundle of 5 granite slabs, weighing 6,500 pounds, from the yard to the warehouse. While setting the bundle upon an A-frame in the warehouse, the forklift eased up the tension on the wire slings cradling the bundle. The employee entered the shadow of the bundle to remove the wire slings from the hook. The slabs fractured and fell, crushing him. The employee was killed as a result of his injuries.
