Abstract: On December 1, 2010, Employee #1 painted a four story condominium complex. The first floor of the complex was an open area designed for resident parking. Employee #1 operated a JLG model 600S, serial number 0954270300042766 aerial lift. He worked from an elevated work platform. Employee #1 had his back to the building. He attempted to position the aerial lift to begin painting the window trim, and either moved the aerial lift or boomed the mast out. As a result, Employee #1 became pinned between the building and the control station, inside the elevated working platform. Employee #1 suffered severe injuries, including contusions and abrasions. Other employees at the work site found Employee #1 pinned between the edge of the garage and the controls of the aerial lift. Employee #1 was taken by helicopter to a local hospital. On December 14, 2010, Employee #1 died in the hospital from the injuries he sustained in this accident.
