Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:15 a.m. on March 4, 2004, Employee #1 was repositioning a JLG boom lift, Model Number 80 HX, for future use by another contractor. The automotive part of the lift was parked on the right shoulder of an interstate. As Employee #1 was repositioning the basket and was extended over the interstate highway, a car traveling approximately 65 mph struck the JLG. Employee #1 was ejected from the basket and fell onto the highway, striking his head on the pavement. Employee #1 was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for his injuries. Employee #1 died several days later due to complications from a concussion. The accident investigation revealed that although the lift had an amber, rotating beacon, the basket was not lit. Further, there were no safety precautions in place, such as rolling road blocks, lights, or cones. And Employee #1 was not wearing fall protection or positioning equipment to prevent him from being thrown from the basket.
