Abstract: At 12:48 p.m. on May 17, 2019, Employee #1 and his construction company employer were performing a soft demolition inside a commercial building. Employee #1 was working at elevation in a JLG scissor lift, removing screws and wire from a ceiling. The employer was operating a Bobcat 64 Loader and removing debris approximately 10 feet away from the scissor lift. The loader made contact with hanging overhead wires, and as the wires were pulled by the Bobcat they caught the scissor lift frame. The scissor lift overturned, falling to the concrete surface with Employee #1 inside. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he was admitted and received stitches to a head laceration.
