Investigation Summary
On June 19, 2013, Employee #1, a permanent employee of Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc., was working at a building construction jobsite. He drove a forklift, JLG Model 5k from PDQ Rentals, onto a Gillespie sidewalk elevator, Serial Number S09440, Model PSH-1-CV, to pick up a sidewalk frame on the other side. The elevator fell approximately 18 feet. Emergency services were called. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital and treated for a compressed T12 vertebra and a chin laceration. He was not hospitalized. This event was reported to Cal/OSHA on June 20, 2013. The subsequent investigation revealed that the elevator's malfunctioning was caused by a manufacturer's defect in the threading of the hydraulic jack assembly.
