Abstract: At 6:45 a.m. on June 1, 2017, Employee #1, employed by a demolition contractor, was removing internal structures and materials at a building demolition site. He was in the basket of a scissor lift and using bolt cutters to remove a t-bar ceiling wire. A wall in an adjacent area suddenly and inexplicably came free, striking and knocking over the scissor lift. Employee #1, still in the lift basket, fell with the lift as it struck the floor. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for fractures of the pelvis and an elbow.
