Investigation Summary
On May 12, 2009, employees of a construction firm were working on the NJ Transit railroad drawbridge across the Hackensack River. They were removing stairs and a second-level platform for a control house located 30 feet above the rails. One employee was standing near the edge of the platform while a section of stairs was being lifted by a tugger. The stairs were to be lowered to a barge in the river below. As they were being raised, the stairs shifted, striking the employee and knocking him off the platform. He fell to the tracks. Emergency medical techicians responded to the scene and transported the worker to Jersey City Medical Center. The employee died.
