Investigation Summary
At 12:00 p.m. on January 30, 2015, Employee #1 and two crews of coworkers, employed by a steel erection company, were working at a commercial warehouse construction site. They were installing metal cross braces along open webbed steel joists. Employee #1 was operating an Illini Hi-Reach JLG Lift, a telescopic boom aerial lift and was connecting the cross braces to an affixed joist. He was trailing and setting the cross braces approximately 50 to 100 feet behind his coworkers, the erecting crew. During this operation Employee #1 appears to have leaned over the control panel of the lift, causing it to engage and pinning him between the frame of the lift basket and the base of the open webbed joists. Employee #1 was killed. Cause of death was determined to be asphyxia.
