Narrative

On 6/08/2019, an employee was power washing a building from inside a motorized bucket lift when the water hose of the power washer became lodged in the lift, causing it to trigger the up switch located in the bucket. When the lift began to rise unexpectedly, the employee jumped out of the lift, falling approximately 12 feet to the concrete sidewalk below. The employee fractured the left arm, nasal, and orbital bones; suffered a concussion and blood clot; and lacerated the left leg.
