Employee Suffers Fractures In Fall From Truck Platform

At 4:00 p.m. on December 27, 2021, an employee was working as a groundskeeper or gardener for a landscaping service. He had worked for the firm for eight to ten months. The firm had eighteen employees. The company had expanded to a new loca tion, where the employee was a tree climber and foreman. The employee's job some times required working from an aerial lift mounted to the only tree trimming tru ck at the new site. On the day of the incident, it had been raining. The employe e had gone to the firm's equipment yard between 11:00 a.m. and noon to start the truck and keep the batteries charged. At 5:00 p.m., the employee's supervisor w as called by someone from another firm, a moving company, that shared the equipm ent yard with the firm. The caller told him that the employee had been found unc onscious. At the time, the location was monitored on a video camera. When the su pervisor arrived at the scene, he was given an account of the incident by worker s from the moving company. The employee was on the truck's platform, above the c ab of the truck.
