Investigation abstract

At 3:30 p.m. on December 7, 2022, an employee working as a carpenter for a framing contractor was installing a second story dormer window. The employee was working from an elevated work platform attached to an extendible boom rough terrain forklift. As a coworker was moving the forklift with the extended boom elevated at a forty-degree angle, the forklift overturned laterally on the operator side. This caused the employee to fall hitting his head on the trees on the way down before impacting the concrete below. The employee was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
