Narrative

Two employees were approximately 15 feet up in a scissor lift working on the motor for the overhead dock door at a customer's site. The overhead door activated and knocked the scissor lift over, causing one employee to fall out of the basket. One employee damaged his jaw, lost teeth, sustained rib injuries and potentially broke a leg. The second employee fractured a wrist. Both were hospitalized.
