Recently, a Beaufort County worker had to be rescued after he fell out of his cherry-picker. The worker, not identified, had dropped about 8 feet last Wednesday afternoon. Fortunately his safety harness kicked in stopping his fall.
According to authorities the worker was quickly rescued and taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The workplace accident happened at the corner of Brick Kiln and River Roads where employees with E and R Incorporated were replacing utility poles.
Aerial lifts include boom-supported aerial platforms, such as cherry pickers or bucket trucks and are often a major cause of fatalities from falls, electrocutions, collapses, and tip overs.
