Employees dies from head injury in fall from truck ladder

At approximately 11:45 a.m. on October 8, 1998, Employee #1 climbed to the top of a ladder on a Ford F700 truck to place a chain saw into the bottom of the articulating boom platform (bucket). He was preparing to get into the bucket, which was in its resting position when the truck driver heard something strike either the bucket or the truck. He went to the back of truck and found Employee #1 lying on the asphalt, 6 ft below the bucket. He was unconscious and bleeding from the back of the head, but he had a pulse. Employee #1 was transported by ambulance to Harrison County Hospital, where he died of a closed head injury. He was not wearing any fall protection. Two employees were working nearby, but did not see Employee #1 fall. His hard hat was found on the pavement, about 8 ft from where he landed. The inside back band was broken in two places, but the webbing was intact.
