On October 3, 2016, a warehouse employee of General Dynamics Land Systems, Inc. (GDL) was seriously injured when seven crates containing 94-pound struts fell from a stack onto him as he was inventorying them. There were no witnesses to the accident and the injured employee has no memory of the event. Following an inspection by Compliance Safety and Health Officer (CSHO) William Glasscock of the Birmingham, Alabama, Area Office of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Secretary concluded the cause of the accident was the instability of the stack of crates.
