Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:30 a.m. on November 11, 2005, Employee #1 was working on an overhead cable line from a bucket truck. The door of the bucket had not been completely shut by the employee and, when the bucket tipped, the door swung open. The employee fell approximately 20 feet to the ground. He suffered a fractured leg, a fractured back, and a dislocated hip. He was hospitalized with his injuries. Further investigation revealed that the bucket was equipped with a secondary safety latch to ensure the door would not open accidentally, but the employee did not use the latch. Fall protection equipment consisting of a harness and lanyard was available in the truck, but the employee did not use the equipment.
