Investigation Summary
On March 4, 2017, Employee #1 and a coworker were spraying damp proofing product on the exposed brick at the Rock Hill High School courtyard. The employees were working out of an aerial lift Genie, Serial number Z30N11-12902. The height of the courtyard was 31 feet. Once they finished that area, they were instructed to go to the other side of the building and finish that area before the end of the day. The two employees began spraying that side of the building at approximately 3:45 p.m. At 5:30 p.m., Employee #1 entered the area on a JLG aerial lift, Model number 400S, serial number 0300165229. The employee set the lift up, facing away from the building. Employee #1 maneuvered the lift so that the basket would fit in the 11 feet by 10 feet opening. The opening had an overhead beam that came out of the building at 22 feet in height. The overhead was six feet in width by eight feet in length, leaving four feet to the end of the opening. The speed of the lift was placed in the fast (rabbit) mode. Once Employee #1 began to accelerate, the lift moved straight up. The back of Employee #1's head and neck struck the overhead steel beam. When Employee #1 struck the beam, it pushed his body forward onto the controls, propelling the machine to keep moving upward. Employee #1 sustained crushing injuries to his head and neck, killing him.
