Narrative

On June 2, 2022, an employee was in a scissor lift, loading a piece of industrial equipment onto a flatbed truck. The employee was disconnecting a four-leg sling when one of its legs caught the bottom of the scissor lift, which was lifted about 8 inches. The employee fell from the scissor lift to the ground 10-12 feet below and suffered fractured vertebrae, a dislocated thumb, and a cracked rib. The employee was hospitalized.
