Employee killed when ejected from aerial lift

At 10:00 a.m. on September 30, 1985, Employee #1 was 21 ft above a sidewalk in an articulating boom aerial lift, removing electric wiring.

A westbound delivery truck struck the elbow of the boom, ejecting Employee #1. He fell into the eastbound lane of Eastern Avenue and was immediately struck by an eastbound tractor trailer. Employee #1, who was not wearing a body belt and lanyard, was killed. The Baltimore City DPW (public sector) was found to be in alleged violation of 29CFR 1910.67(c)(2)(ii) and 29CFR 1910.67(c) and 67(c)(2)(v), both serious.
