Abstract: At approximately 11:00 a.m. on November 5, 2009, Employee #1 was removing wall-mounted, triangular brackets and mounting clips from an interior wall. While repositioning the aerial lift, Employee #1 was facing the controls and his back was to the wall-mounted brackets. The basket of the aerial lift became caught on a bracket, and when the basket released from the bracket, the sudden upward movement ejected Employee #1 from the lift. Employee #1 fell to the ground and was killed. He was wearing a full body harness with lanyard but was not tied off to the aerial lift platform.
