| A worker in the bucket of an aerial lift is trying to do some
wiring on an overhead crane of a factory building with an uneven floor. |
|
When the worker tried to turn the bucket to do the wiring, the aerial lift wobbled because it was positioned in an unstable location on an uneven part of the floor. The worker's chest was crushed between the railing of the bucket and the overhead crane rail.
