Investigation Summary
At about 1:45 p.m. on August 28, 2014, Employee #1, a truck driver, was loading a metal bin containing recyclable aluminum radiators on a roll-off truck. The elevated hoist became entangled with an overhead telecommunication line. Employee #1 climbed onto the roll-off hoist to free the line. Once freed, the tension in the communication line caused Employee #1 to fall from the hoist. Employee #1 was killed when he head struck the metal frame to the automatic tarp system on the truck.
