Investigation Summary
On Wednesday, September 12, 1990, Employees #1 and #2, laborers, had been assigned to block the windows of a parking garage with concrete blocks. The windows were located in the rear of the garage, which had an elevator shaft on the other side. The Tatan #2 elevator, serial #2362, which was used to bring cars to the higher floors to be parked, was taken out of service while the employees were preparing to block in the windows. When the garage superintendent needed to use the elevator he told the employees in both Spanish and English to move away. They did. The superintendent went up in the elevator but it jammed. Employee #1 was struck in the head by the elevator's counterweight at the open window and killed. Employee #2 was severely injured.1
