Employee falls from elevation and fractures femur and hip so

At approximately 10:30 a.m. on February 24, 2021, an employee at Henry G. Meigs, LLC, a plant operations worker, was cleaning asphalt material near the loading hatch of a 40-foot bulk tanker trailer. While climbing down a fixed ladder attached to the trailer and carrying a steel five-gallon bucket half-full of asphalt material, the employee lost his balance after dropping the bucket onto the ground. As he stepped down onto the fourth ladder rung, he fell approximately 4.5 feet to the crushed rock grade below. The employee sustained a shattered left femur and hip socket. Emergency services transported the employee to a local hospital, where he was admitted and underwent surgery for his injuries.
