Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Report for Nebraska: Concrete Block Truck Operator Struck by Falling Pre-Cast Steps
A 72-year-old male truck driver sustained fatal injuries when struck by a 1,500 pound pre-cast concrete step unit that broke loose and fell while being hoisted above him. The victim was part of a two-person crew that transported and delivered a set of pre-cast concrete steps to a residence. The victim was operating the truck-mounted loader. As he lifted the steps to the driver's side of the truck he abruptly stopped their movement. The load continued to swing, became unsteady and broke free of the clamps used to secure the steps. The steps then fell onto the victim causing severe injuries. Emergency personnel were immediately summoned and the victim was transported to a hospital where he died eleven days later.
