Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and coworkers were using an MX19 aerial lift, model #65700, to hang a roll-up door frame in an approximately 18 ft 5 in. tall by 20 ft wide opening on the east side of a new building. Over the soil surface they built a plywood platform shored up by 2 by 4 and 4 by 4 lumber. Once the south side welding was complete, they moved to set up the lift on the north side. They checked to make sure the platform was stable before Employee #1 raised himself in the lift. He was preparing to start welding when the platform gave away and the lift tipped over. Employee #1 fell approximately 15 ft to the ground, fracturing his right femur bone.
