Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and a coworker were using a JLG scissor lift, model 3369, to hoist louvers and install them into a wall at a height of approximately 16 ft. At the time of the accident, they were using nylon straps and S-hooks to secure a louver to the outside of the midrail on the lift. The S-hook of the nylon strap went through 3/8 in. wide holes predrilled into the metal of the louver. They were lifting the louver when the metal collapsed and the S-hook flew out, striking Employee #1's prescription eye glasses. The glass shattered, puncturing his eye, and resulting in permanent damage. He was not wearing prescription safety glasses.
