Investigation Summary
An employee was working from the bucket of an aerial lift having a rated lifting capacity of 675 kilograms. He used a rope suspended by the aerial lift bucket to raise a 1035-kilogram log. He was going to lift the log about 1.5 meters into the back of a truck. The rope broke; and the employee, who was not using any personal fall protection equipment, was catapulted out of the bucket. He fell to the roadway, suffering a broken left elbow, broken left leg, broken pelvis, fractured ribs, and internal injuries. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
