| Summary Nr: 78355.015 | Event: 07/28/2015 | Employee Is Killed In Boom Truck Rollover | ||||
| At 9:30 a.m. on July 28, 2015, Employee #1 was using a bucket truck aerial devic e, with a rope and lanyard attached, to lift a section of a spruce tree. The com bined weight of the operator, section of tree, and bucket liner, exceeded the we ight limit for the aerial unit, which caused the unit, including the truck body, to tip over. Employee #1 was connected to the bucket with a safety belt and lan yard. When the boom and bucket hit the ground, the bucket rotated, pinning the e mployee to the ground. The weight and pressure exerted on Employee #1 caused mul tiple fractures to the base of his skull, ribs, and sternum, lacerations of the heart, liver, pericardium, and pleura, killing him. | ||||||
