Narrative

An employee was working from a 19-foot electronic scissor lift (set at 11-feet high) to cut a large structural brace using a torch. As the brace was cut loose, it struck the top of the scissor lift and fell onto plastic storage containers. The back of the employee's head hit the scissor lift guardrails and was lacerated, requiring hospitalization.
