Investigation Summary
At 9:00 p.m. on April 2, 2000, Employee #1, who was the ironworkers' foreman, seven other ironworkers, and one crane operator were assigned to roll two of six new girders to the metro north railroad. In preparation for the job, the foreman was moving a JLG aerial lift, model 800A, from its parked location so another lift could be used because the 800A could not reach where two of the workers were supposed to be stationed. One of the coworkers observed the foreman both when he was half-way elevated and then when he was fully extended, At this time he heard the engine revving high and saw the foreman take his foot off the operator's pedal. The foreman was ejected from the aerial lift and fell to the ground. He was killed. The exact cause of the accident was not specified in the abstract.
