Abstract: On August 25, 2017, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was operating a Champion personnel hoist, Model Number US-60-1RNU, Serial Number A11072205, to lift construction crews to the 6th floor of a building under construction. He had earlier been shown the basic operations of the hoist by the foreman. After lifting one group of workers, as he was descending in the hoist, it accelerated and hit the springs at the bottom of the stage. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted, treated for shoulder bruises, and released after 9 hours.
