2016 Second Alert - LTI#04 LTI Saih Rawl
A heavy vehicle contractor driver was unlatching chains and boomers from a batch mixer on top of a flatbed trailer (1.55 m high). The driver stepped to the side of the batch mixer pulling the chain in preparation to step down from the trailer. During this process he lost balance and fell on the ground injuring his left ankle and developing a calcaneus bone fracture.

Ensure you attend the TBT / safety brief before starting work. Supervisors to ensure that ONLY assigned & briefed personnel are involved in the task. Do not participate in operations if you were not part of the TBT. Always secure any loose items on equipment before transportation.
