Narrative

Two employees were working in a boom lift painting beams near a catwalk. The lift operator was raising the boom to position it between the beams. The boom did not stop and continued to rise, causing the injured employee to be caught between the beams and the rail of the lift basket. The injured employee suffered several broken ribs and a collapsed lung.
