Investigation Summary
At 2:30 p.m. on February 26, 2020, an employee working as a water treatment plant operator for a city public works department was attempting to fix a radiant heat system in the plant's shop. The employee was standing in an unsecured basket elevated with a S300 Bobcat skid loader. As he walked from the middle to the edge of the basket, the basket tipped over and fell approximately 9 feet to the concrete floor below. The employee was hospitalized to treat fractures and contusions to his head and his right elbow, wrist and leg.
