Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was killed and Employee #2 was seriously injured and hospitalized when they were on an HEK MSM 1000 mast climbing work platform which fell approximately 60 feet to the ground. The employer failed to ensure that the limit switch actuating rail, also known as the red painted top mast, was installed on the supporting mast before the platform was used. The red painted top mast actuates the limit switch of the motor, which prevents the platform from traveling upwards. Because this portion of the mast was missing, the platform was not prevented from being lifted beyond its supporting mast, and falling to the ground.
