Abstract: EMPLOYEE #1 WAS IN THE PROCESS OF ADDING FUEL OIL TO THE FUEL TANK OF THE TRUCK PART, OR CARRIAGE, OF THE TRUCK CRANE AS IT WAS BEING USED TO LOAD CONCRETE PANELS ONTO A TRAILER. THE CRANE OPERATOR WAS AT THE CONTROLS. TWO OTHER WORKERS WERE HANDLING SLINGS IN FRONT OF THE CRANE, ATTACHING AND RELEASING THE LOADS. EMPLOYEE #1 APROACHED THE CRANE FROM THE REAR, OUT OF SIGHT OF THE OTHER EMPLOYEES, AND PROCEEDED TO POUR 5 GALLONS OF FUEL INTO THE CRANE CARRIAGE FUEL TANK.
