Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:00 p.m. on December 12, 1996, Employee #1, a tanker trailer driver, was picking up a load of whey at a cheese factory. He did this several times a day. The job consisted of parking under a suspended discharge pipe, climbing up the tanker ladder to an unguarded platform on the truck, opening the hatch door, connecting a pipe into the trailer, turning on the pump, and then climbing down and waiting about 20 minutes. After the whey was pumped, he would reverse the process and leave for another facility or for the dumping area. Employee #1 had just finished the pumping operation and the tanker hatch door was closed. He was moving from the platform to the ladder or down the top of the ladder when he fell, facing the ladder. Employee #1 died of a fractured skull.
