Employee Fractures Hip in Auto Lift Accident

On November 1, 2011, Employee #1 received a hip injury when he fell from an elevated automotive lift while in the course of his duties as a mechanic for the company. Employee #1 and a coworker had rolled a medium duty truck onto the lift that supports the vehicle by the tires. As the coworker began raising the vehicle, Employee #1 stayed on the platform, applying degreaser to the engine compartment. Employee #1 finished his task and went to step off the lift rails and fell onto the concrete pad below, contributing to his hip injury. Employee #1 was transported to a local hospital for treatment of his fractured hip.
