3,000 pounds of granite kills

Queens, January 17, 2006

A worker at a stone company is dead after becoming trapped under 3,000 pounds of granite.
Newscopter 7 was over the scene in Steinway, Queens shortly after it happened.
Investigators say the man was moving the giant slabs of granite for a customer when he slipped and fell.
He was trapped for almost an hour before rescue crews managed to free him and take him to a local hospital, where he later died.

What do you guys do to stop this from happening?
How do the one-man shops stop this?
