Investigation Summary
Employee #1, an electrician, was installing overhead track lighting. A series of floor holes some 4-in.-deep and 24-in.-square that would serve as the base for floor mounted lighting fixtures had not been filled and covered prior to allowing the operation of scissor lifts in the area. Employee #1 suffered fatal injuries when the scissor lift elevated platform he was operating drove into an uncovered floor hole and tipped over. The scissor lift that tipped over was traveling with the platform raised to a height of approximately 20 ft, which made observing floor conditions more difficult. Employee #1 was killed.
