Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:15 p.m. on February 25, 2016, an employee being elevated in a personnel lifting platform suspended from a truck, mounted a 5-ton capacity crane and fell. The crane was operated by the company owner. The employee was elevated approximately 15 feet above ground level and was cutting a small branch off of a tree using manual garden loppers. While the employee was being lifted an additional 2-3 feet, the hook unscrewed from the bottom swivel overhaul ball. The employee fell to the ground with the platform. The employee struck the metal railing on the man basket which caused fractured ribs to puncture a lung. The company owner contacted 911. State Police, County EMS, and a coroner arrived. The employee was pronounced dead at the scene.
