Employee fractures neck, lacerates head when struck by tube

At 8:00 a.m. on October 10, 2019, an employee working as a welder for a steel and precast concrete contractor was preparing to weld a structural 6-inch by 6-inch by 5/16-inch steel tube. The employee was working from a Snorkel Model 23219E Electrical Scissor Lift. While the employee was turned away from the tube, it slipped from the nylon sling choke and struck the employee. As a result, the employee fell onto the lift's platform. The employee fractured his neck and lacerated his head, requiring hospitalization.
