Abstract: At approximately 3:20 a.m. on November 12, 2010, Employee #1, of Pike Feeds, Incorporated, was working from a 15 ft elevated cat walk loading feed grain into a tandem truck. A coworker was operating the truck and was standing on ground level when he heard a loud noise. The coworker had walked around the truck to see Employee #1 falling, striking his foot on the side of the truck and landing on the ground head first. As a result, Employee #1 was killed due to head trauma. It was determined that Employee #1 had ducked under the top rail of the catwalk and missed the platform on top of the truck. Also, there was no midrail provided to access the top of the truck.
