  1. MNM Fatal 2012-03 • Fall of Person Accident • February 22, 2012 (Florida) • Crushed Stone Operation • Maintenance Mechanic • 46 years old • 7 years of experience

  2. Overview The victim suffered injuries on February 22, 2012, from a fall of 16 feet from an elevated walkway of a conveyor to the ground below. He and a coworker, positioned on the other side of the belt, were bolting a snubber pulley in place. The victim was hospitalized and died on February 26, 2012, as a result of injuries sustained from the fall. The accident occurred due to management’s failure to ensure persons wear fall protection where there is a danger of falling. The victim was not wearing fall protection.

  3. Root Causes Root Cause:Management did not monitor persons to ensure established safe procedures were followed. The victim was not wearing fall protection while working on conveyor walkways where there is a danger of falling. Corrective Action:Management established procedures requiring persons be monitored to ensure fall protection is worn where a potential falling hazard exists. All persons were trained in these new procedures.

  4. Best Practices • Establish and discuss safe work procedures. Before starting any work, identify and control all hazards. • Train all persons to recognize and understand safe job procedures, including the proper use of fall protection. • Always use fall protection when working where a fall hazard exists. • Install railings or cables when persons are required to work or travel near the edge of a structure.
