An employee and a contractor were using a scissor lift to reach the top of the black powder spray booth where steel tanks are brought in to be painted. The employee was going to clean the top of the booth, while the contractor was going to work on the lighting in the area above the booth. The product-carrier which brings the steel tanks to the paint booth was not locked out. The product-carrier started to bring a steel tank to the spray booth and made contact with the scissor-lift. The carrier tipped the scissor-lift over. The employees were thrown roughly six feet when the scissor-lift impacted the ground.
