Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was a foreman for a tree trimming service. He was approximately 30 ft above the ground when the aerial boom he was operating fell from the truck on which it was mounted. He suffered head, leg, and internal injuries, and was transported by ambulance to Mercy Medical Center in Redding, CA. Subsequent investigation revealed that the bolts that secured the base of the boom to the truck mounting had sheared off. Nine of the bolts were rusty, indicating old breaks; 16 of the bolts showed fresh metal without rust. From the front of the truck, the nine rusty bolts were located on the back side of the boom drive gear.
