One morning in April, an
Assistant Driller suffered a severe
workplace injury fracturing his leg and he
will need at least 6 weeks to recover. This
happened when a forklift truck transported a
pipe suspended by a webbing strap from one
of the forks. When the forklift reached the
place to drop the pipe down, the driller
held onto the strap to stop it swinging. He
took a step |
|
back and
tripped over another pipe and in doing so he
pulled the strap off the fork causing the
pipe to land on his leg. You must never
stand in the line of fire where a load can
fall on you and doing that is a serious
non-compliance. Remember to comply,
intervene and respect – always. |
