Investigation Summary
On December 1, 2009, Employee #1 was moving a beam lying on the concrete foundation of the building to be constructed. The Division measured the beam at approximately 37 feet long by 17. 75 inches wide. The approximate weight of the beam was 1,200 lbs. Employee #1 and a coworker both rigged the scissor lifts that were about 20 feet apart with a two-foot by four-foot piece of wood, or two by four, through the railing. One side of the cable was wrapped around the two by four, with the other around the beam. The beam was lifted approximately four feet over some pipes sticking upwards out of the concrete. Employee #1 lifted the beam, overloading the two scissor lifts. One scissor lift, manufactured by Skyjack, Model Number SJ111-3219, Serial Number 22017082, was raised approximately 10-13 feet and tipped over during the lift of the beam. The capacity of the Skyjack retracted was 550 pounds and 250 pounds extended. The second scissor lift did not tip over. It was manufactured by Genie, Model GS2632, serial number GS3206 82544. Its capacity was 500 pounds retracted and 250 pounds extended. Employee #1 suffered serious fractures when the scissor lift tipped over. Employee #1 was a permanent full time employee of this employer with no other contracts. The fire department called the Division to report a serious injury that occurred.
