Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 958272

Event: 08/19/1992

Employee injured when gondola towed by tractor overturns

Employee #1 and two coworkers were riding on a grape gondola being pulled by a tractor. As the tractor was crossing a wooden bridge over a ditch that ran through the field, the operator turned to talk with a rider, lost control of the tractor, and ran off the bridge. The tractor and gondola overturned into the ditch. Employee #1 was injured. All three employees were disciplined because the employer has specific rules against employees riding on tractors and other farm equipment. The driver was suspended for three days, and the other two employees received warnings.
