| At approximately 7:09 a.m. on July 24, 2006, Employee #1 loaded and started the Genie S-65 aerial high lift to move it from the parking lot to the east side of the building, where he was going to caulk the windows. He traveled 3 to 4 feet, then began elevating the boom and rotating the basket. When the tilt alarm on the lift sounded, Employee #1 looked down and saw that the front two wheels were not touching the ground. The boom lift tipped and fell over into the street. The ground area next to the building had a 10 to 15 degree slope from the building towards the street. Employee #1 sustained a chip to his right elbow, contusions to his right leg, thigh, hip, back, chest and ribs. He also suffered a concussion and had internal abdominal inflammation. He was hospitalized for two days. | |||||||
