Abstract: On October 11, 2011, Employee #1 was part of a crew working at a pump station in a water pollution control plant. The crew was using a davit crane system mounted on a flatbed truck to lift a sandblasting unit from the basement of the plant (approximately 20 ft below grade) to a manhole near an influent intake valve. Employee # 1 was guiding the hoist cable into an 8 ft by 10 ft wet well opening while standing on the truck bed. He lost his grip and fell 15 ft to the concrete basement floor. Employee #1 was airlifted to Regional Medical Center of San Jose for treatment of a head injury.
