Incident on Oct 25, 1996 (fatal): Employee died of asphyxia when pinned by plywood sheet
At approximately 10:30 p.m. on October 25, 1996, Employee #1 was removing forms from pier #6 on Lake Shore Drive below I-55. He was trying to pull out a 4 ft by 5 ft sheet of plywood when the board became stuck underneath the rail of the ae rial lift basket, pinning him in the corner. As Employee #1 tried to move the ve hicle, he apparently forgot the position of the driving wheels. He pushed the le ver in the wrong direction, causing the aerial lift to move forward instead of b ackward. The plywood became pinned against his chest, crushing it. Employee #1 d ied of asphyxia.
