Abstract: At 7:45 a.m. on September 21, 2018, an employee and coworker were assigned to grease the rack of an ALIMAK Rack and Pinion Elevator. The employee climbed onto the cage of the elevator using a ladder to access the rack. The employee stood on the cage with one hand holding the mast while lubricating the rack. At some point, the coworker used the elevator to go to an upper level. As the elevator car went up, the counterweight came down and struck the employee. The employee received multiple, unspecified contusions and fractures and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
