Narrative

On July 7, 2020, an employee was using an aerial lift to change sprinkler heads in a warehouse facility. The employee was raising the lift and was about 7-8 feet up when his back struck a ceiling beam. The beam pinned the employee against the lift control panel. The employee suffered abdominal crushing injuries (bruise, contusion, abrasion) and was hospitalized.
