Final narrative
Two employees were hospitalized for injuries sustained during a roof truss collapse.
On September 25, 2023, an employee was working in the body department installing doors, hoods, and tailgates. The employee finished their shift and was hospitalized later that evening for a back injury.
The injured employee was assisting five other employees with bracing a wall panel that was being stood up. Another employee slipped on frost on the floor surface. The employees went to evacuate the area in anticipation of the wall panel falling over. The injured employee went to jump through a window opening within the wall panel and their lower half was crushed by the falling wall panel. The employee sustained a fractured pelvis.
An employee was on a 6-foot ladder, working to nail a 2-by-4 on a hotel carport ceiling. He lost his balance and his muddy boots slipped. He then fell and his foot lodged in the ladder. His foot was broken in two places and he was hospitalized.
An employee was installing a ceiling joist for a residential home when they fell from a framing structure and landed on the ground 8 feet below. The employee's right arm was fractured.
On September 16, 2025, a employee was moving a dolly with seven drywall sheets. The wheel of the dolly got stuck. The material tipped over and fell onto the employee's left foot, fracturing their tibia.
An employee was installing 80-foot-long trusses onto a 150-foot by 80-foot post-frame building. The employee worked from the north lift and then on the trusses about 20 feet up to install bracing. While installing diagonal bracing on the top chord, the trusses collapsed, causing the employee to fall approximately 20 feet to the concrete and be struck by the falling trusses. The employee was hospitalized with a fractured pelvis and a concussion.
An employee was lowering the bucket of a track loader that contained a grade stake and the grade stake punctured his foot, resulting in hospitalization and surgery.
An employee was using a pike to move a pallet of sugar that was stuck in the powder racking. The employee fell backward, landing on his right leg. The employee's leg was fractured and he was hospitalized.
An employee was working to fix the forks on a forklift when the fork(s) fell on her toes. The second and third toes on her right foot were fractured, lacerated, and required stitches.
An employee was delivering a 65-foot boom lift to a rental customer's construction site. The employee set up the ramp truck in the parking lot adjacent to the construction site. He elevated the boom 4-5 feet to clear a temporary fence. While driving the boom lift off the ramp, the wheels slid to the driver's side of the ramp truck, ultimately sliding off the ramp. The boom lift fell off the side of the truck and rolled onto its side. The employee sustained a fractured clavicle, a dislocated shoulder, separated/fractured ribs, a punctured lung, and a fractured left femur. The employee required surgery.
