EMPLOYEE SUFFERS FRACTURED KNEE

At approximately 9:30 p.m. on June 22, 1998, Employee #1 came to the jobsite to deliver a self propelled elevating work platform (scissor lift). The work platform was unloaded from the truck. Employee #1 then rode the platform down a winding and sloping driveway which leads to the parking garage under the building. Employee #1 claimed he was unable to stop or slow down the unit with the plunger that actuates the parking brakes. The unit tipped over and Employee #1 was thrown onto the cement driveway resulting in fractures to his right knee and right elbow and a cut over right eye. Employee #1 was hospitalized for his injuries.
