OSHA Cites Georgia Company for Fall Protection Following Warehouse Fatality Occupational Hazards
'Falls are preventable,' OSHA Savannah area director John Deifer said. 'This tragic accident would not have occurred if management had used safety equipment readily available.'
OSHA began an investigation on Aug. 26 after being notified that a worker had died from injuries sustained in a fall from an elevated forklift platform. According to the OSHA investigative report, the employee was struck by a piece of electrical conduit as it was being removed from overhead beams, causing him to lose his balance and fall 8 feet to the floor below.
