Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a truck driver for Commercial Transfer, Inc., was delivering a load of 20 ft long by 12 in. diameter PVC pipe to a construction site. He inspected the load to make sure the steel bands holding the pipes were still attached, and then removed the chains from the load. Employee #1 moved away from the truck to roll up his straps. As a backhoe operator began to unload the pipes, the steel bands broke and the pipes rolled off the truck. One pipe struck Employee #1 in the chest while another landed on his ankle. He sustained two broken ribs.
