Abstract: At 4:30 p.m. on May 19, 2020, an employee was working from a job made platform attached to the forks of a rough terrain forklift to paint a second story window frame. When the employee finished he signaled a coworker, who was operating the forklift, to lower the employee to the ground. The coworker began to retract the boom when the platform came free of the forks. The employee fell approximately fifteen feet, struck a fence and then landed on a concrete sidewalk. The employee was killed by multiple blunt force trauma injuries received.
