Abstract: At 11:30 a.m. on October 16, 2018, Employee #1 was operating a JLG 860 SJ aerial lift at a two-story residence and preparing to install gutters as part of a multiemployer construction project. The lift became stuck in the mud. As Employee #1 attempted to free the lift, it tipped over and ejected the employee.

Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital, where he was admitted and treated for a dislocated shoulder, a head laceration, and a fractured kneecap.
