Investigation Summary
At 9:00 a.m. on November 4, 2020, Employee #1, employed by a vehicle lift installation and servicing contractor, was working at a vehicle maintenance facility. The employee had raised the carriage on a Rotary SP020 automotive lift and was in the process of connecting a hydraulic hose to the bottom of a cylinder/ram inside the column while a coworker secured cables running through the overhead section. While connecting the hose, the carriage became disengaged from the locking latch and fell onto Employee #1's forearms, crushing them. Employee #1 sustained fractures to both forearms and was transported to the hospital for admission and treatment. The employer was cited for failing to secure the carriage, which contributed to the accident.
