Abstract: Employees #1 and #2 were in a scissor lift, water/sandblasting a building surface for painting. They were almost finished sandblasting one side of the building when the scissor lift tumbled over. The lift was being used on asphalt pavement that had a six degree incline. The combination of working on an incline, which is prohibited, the back pressure of the water/sandblaster, and the extended height of the scissor lift is believed to have caused the lift to overturn. Employees #1 and #2 were thrown from the lift to the asphalt pavement. They were taken to Providence Hospital, where Employee #1 was treated for a crushed elbow and pelvis and Employee #2 was treated for a crushed heel.
