Abstract: At approximately 5:00 p.m. on January 27, 2003, Employee #1 was making a propane delivery to a residence when he was caught in the rotating power take-off (PTO) shaft underneath the propane truck. Employee #1 was working independently; therefore, there are no witnesses. Evidence at the scene indicates that the employee was underneath the truck trying to place papers in a bucket underneath an oil leak in the rear main seal of the truck. The company had previously received a complaint from a customer that the truck was leaking oil on their driveway during deliveries. While Employee #1 was underneath the truck his clothes got wrapped up in the rotating PTO shaft. The PTO powers the pump used to dispense the propane.
