Incident on Mar 8, 2011 (fatal): Employee is injured in fall from scissor lift, later dies
At 10:10 a.m. on March 8, 2011, Employee #1 and a coworker, both crane repairman /inspectors, were elevated in a scissor lift, 26-feet high. They were inspecting the wire rope on the 10-ton auxiliary block of a multi-girder, top-running brid ge crane. The scissor lift was positioned parallel to the girders of the crane, and the crane bay ran north and south. The coworker felt something contact the p latform, and he yelled to Employee #1 to get to the other side of the platform, in an attempt to stabilize the scissor lift. The impact to the raised scissor li ft caused it to fall in a southerly direction. Employee #1 fell free of the plat form and impacted the concrete flooring. The coworker remained inside the platfo rm and rode the platform until it contacted the floor. Emergency response servic es were called. Employee #1 was nonresponsive and was transported by ambulance t o the local Henry County Hospital, where he later died from his injuries. The co worker was responsive to the rescue team and was transported by helicopter to St . Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, IN. The coworker was release from hospital c are three days later.
