Investigation Summary
On December 15, 2010, Employee #1, a crane operator, was standing on the operator's platform, maneuvering the boom of a Manitex Model 1568 truck-mounted crane. The crane was being used to unload and stage membrane material from a delivery truck onto the roof of a commercial building during a roof replacement project. Without apparent cause, Employee #1 fell about 2.5 feet from the platform onto the asphalt parking lot, striking his head on the ground. Employee #1 was admitted to the hospital with a head injury and received medical treatment. He died a month later, having never recovered from the head injury.
