Investigation Summary
At 3:30 p.m. on May 1, 2020, an employee was working from a Versalift brand aerial lift mounted to a Ford F450 Super Duty truck. While the employee was in the elevated aerial lift, the weld broke, allowing the bracket under the hydraulic piston to twist. When the pin came loose, the aerial lift fell about 19.5 feet to the ground. The employee suffered a broken femur, ruptured bladder, hand and elbow fractures, and a broken left hip and pelvis. The employee was hospitalized. Surgeries were required.
