July 19, 2007 AK · Metal/Non-Metal miner, prospector, nec Fatality · MACHINERY
Alaska Gold Company · Struck against a moving object

Initial Information: Two EE's working from manlift on West side of mill building over Electrical Room. From initial witness reports, it appears they were in the process of retracting & lowering boom at end of shift with boom fully extended to the South when South side wheels slipped sideways from leveling blocks, causing lift to tilt and capsize. Boom fell, basket hit ground.
