Employee Is Injured When Boom Lift Tips Over

At approximately 2:30 p.m. on June 14, 2011, Employee #1, a boom lift operator and truck driver, was on a job site to transport a JLG-Boom Lift back (Model E300A, 8,500 lbs. capacity, Ahern number:51809) to a rental yard. Employee #1 was wearing all personal protective gears such as a hard hat, safety goggles, yellow vest, and body harness. The area of travel by the boom lift was uneven, and had a sloped ditch of soft dirt in its path of travel. As Employee #1 traveled the uneven dirt surface, the boom lift slid, tipping over the sloped dirt surface, falling into a ditch, and causing Employee #1 to sustain serious unspecified bodily injuries. He was hospitalized.
