Incident on Oct 6, 2020 (fatal): Employee dies after falling from unguarded platform basket
On October 6, 2020, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was working at a multi-employer construction project for a new residential structure. He was using a SkyTrak Rough Terrain Forklift with a homemade platform basket and installing exterior siding. The platform basket had no side rails, and the employee was not using a personal fall arrest system. The employee walked backward on the platform and fell from the unguarded right side, a fall height of 17 feet. He hit his head on a concrete patio. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital, where he died of fall-related injuries two weeks later.
