Final narrative
On June 26, 2025, an employee was standing on a scissor lift at a height of about 6 feet. He was conducting quality checks, light cleaning, and touching up paint on a piping assembly framework that was secured to a drop-deck trailer attached to a tractor. When the tractor trailer drove forward to reposition, it contacted the scissor lift at the deck frame and pulled it forward, causing it to tip over. The employee fell with the lift to the floor. He sustained fractures to his right forearm and wrist, and a burst fracture of his L1 vertebra. He was hospitalized and required surgery.
