Abstract: On October 5, 2011, Employee #1 was working from the deck of an elevated scissor lift, which was near an automatic roll-up door. The power to the automatic roll-up door was not locked out. The sensor for the door was inadvertently activated, causing the door to open. As the top of the door moved along its track, the door struck the scissor lift. The scissor lift toppled, and Employee #1 fell off. Employee #1 was killed. (Note: Narrative did not indicate the height of the fall.)
