Investigation Summary
On April 6, 2006, Employee #1 was operating a vehicle mounted articulating aerial lift. While in the bucket, he began to raise the booms to the underside of a steel beam to install metal studs. As the aerial lift continued to hoist upward, he was caught leaning over the bucket with his back becoming pinned against the steel beam. He was unable to reach the controls or pull himself free and died.
