In 2015, Kevin Miranda was 45 feet above the ground in
the basket of an aerial lift. The company Kevin worked for
hadn’t trained him properly on using his fall protection
lanyard to stay secured to the basket and, even worse, the
company did not follow industry safety standards and
chose to operate the lift on uneven ground. The lift was
unsteady when it raised Kevin high and ultimately tipped
over, crashing to the ground with Kevin inside. Sadly
Kevin died due to his injuries. OSHA conducted an
investigation into the fatal accident and ruled that had
the proper safety precautions been followed the accident
would have been avoided.
