Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:00 a.m. on July 19, 2003, Employees # 1 and #2 were located in an aerial lift, Make: JLG, attempting to maneuver it in order to remove paint splatters from an awning. The awning was 39-feet high and neither Employees #1 or #2 were wearing safety harnesses. As they attempted to move the lift closer to the awning, they positioned the lift on a set of stairs with the front wheels resting on a patio and the rear wheels on the bottom step. This caused the lift to tip over and fall backwards, causing Employees # 1 and #2 to strike the pavement. They were hospitalized and pronounced dead due to injuries sustained.
