Investigation Summary

At 12:00 a.m. on February 15, 2020, an employee was working from an aerial lift basket to remove bridge column formwork. At some point, the employee was having trouble removing a section of plywood form and stepped out of the aerial lift basket without connecting his life-line to an anchor point. As the employee stepped onto the plywood platform, the surface shifted and the employee fell approximately thirty feet. The employee was hospitalized with a punctured lung, fractures to the left arm and leg, but later died of his injuries.
