Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on February 2, 1999, Employee #1, an employee of AB Interiors, was preparing an aerial lift for use on an upcoming construction project. The platform was raised to a height of about 18 feet. The employee then positioned himself in a squatting fashion next to the toggle switches that activate the lowering and raising mode of the machine. While working in this area, the lift descended unexpectedly and pinned Employee #1 against the toggle switch's metal enclosure. The employee died at the scene.
