Abstract: At 1:45 p.m. on March 7, 2018, Employees #1 and #2 were engaged in construction work at a farm museum. They were working from the deck of a SkyJack Scissor Lift and removing perlings -18-foot long steel beams, each weighing approximately 250 pounds - from an overhead garage door. As they attempted to remove a perling and place it into a vertical position held by a chain, they lost control of the beam, which in turn pulled the scissor lift over. Employees #1 and #2 fell from the scissor lift, a fall height of 12 to 15 feet. Emergency services were called, and both employees were transported to the hospital, admitted, and treated for multiple injuries.
