Narrative

An employee was standing on a lift wearing his harness to remove a section of duct work. He took the bolts off from around the section of duct work and then lowered the lift. The section of duct work was supposed to lower with the lift, but when he looked back, he noticed that the duct work was not coming down. At this time, he used his upper body, shoulder area to loosen the section. The duct work then fell and pinned him underneath it. He suffered a lumbar fracture.
