Investigation abstract
At 8:32 a.m. on January 19, 2023, Employee # 1 and Employee #2 were installing data cable near the north side of a paint booth using a Skyjack scissor lift, approximately 25 feet above the working surface. A coworker was operating an overhead gantry crane, moving the crane from east to west. The coworker's view of Employee #1 and Employee #2 was obstructed, and the crane collided with the scissor lift. The lift fell to the west and struck a conduit, causing the lift to stop suddenly and eject Employee #1 and Employee #2 onto the concrete floor below. Employee #1 was killed, and Employee #2 suffered unspecified injuries and was hospitalized.
