Investigation Summary
Two employees were performing HVAC duct installation work at a high school gymnasium. They were working from the extended basket of a JLG extensible boom aerial lift. The employees had installed some sections of the HVAC supply air ducts. Employee #1 was stepping on the mid-rail of the basket's guardrail system to reach the top of the duct being installed and lost his balance. Employee #1 fell approximately 22 ft to the concrete ground. Employee #1 died in route to the hospital.
