Employee Dies in Fall from Aerial Lift

On January 13, 2006, Employee #1, the owner of a drywall company, was working with an employee to install drywall on a newly constructed building. They were using an Upright X Series, Model Number X20N scissor lift. Employee #1 and a coworker were on the platform of the scissor lift approximately 10.5 feet above a concrete floor. One end of the lift platform was not equipped with a guardrail. Employee #1 fell through this opening, and onto the concrete floor, striking his head. Employee #1 was taken to a local hospital, where he died later that day from his injuries.
