Abstract: On February 16, 2006, Employee #1, a foreman, was installing a light fixture on top of pole outside a construction trailer. In order to perform his duties, Employee #1 needed to reach the top of the pole. So, the prime contractor arranged to have a coworker to bring over a Gradall with a job-built platform. Employee #1 entered the platform that was elevated approximately 12 ft. Employee #1 walked to one edge of the platform, when it flipped over and fell off the forks, throwing Employee #1 to the ground below. The platform landed on top of Employee #1. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he was treated for a fractured ankle.
