Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:19 a.m. on June 7, 1991, Employee #1, a chip truck driver for Kenneth L. Roole, Inc., of Redding, CA, had filled his chip trailer at a mill in Oroville, CA. He pulled out onto an avenue, parked, and prepared to tarp the load. He climbed up the ladder on the rear of the trailer and instead of walking along the top of the load, he walked along the trailer's 9 in. wide side support rail toward where the tarp was gathered at the front of the trailer. When he pulled the tarp and the bridle rope toward the rear, the tarp became caught and the rope broke. Employee #1 fell approximately 13 ft 6 in. to the ground, fracturing both his feet and his right wrist. The employer was cited for a violation of T8CCR 3210 for having no fall protection, and T8CCR 3203(a)(1) for inadequate employee training.
