    A worker was observed standing on an affixed toolbox over 6 feet high while filling a water tank in the bed of a truck. A supervisor intervened. The worker said they chose that position for better hose control. The project will implement fall protection measures like proper filling connections, toolbox markings, and a job hazard analysis for filling. A safety talk will emphasize planning and communication to prevent similar incidents.

    LSA: Working at Heights 08/19/2019
    What Happened?

    was observed standing on an affixed toolbox unprotected from a fall
    greater than 6 feet. A nearby supervisor intervened with the worker.
    When questioned, the worker stated they chose that position and location
    to have better control of the water hose.

    CRAFT ENGAGEMENT
    Event Details – Classification Life Saving Action Violation (Working at Heights)
    In the process of filling a water tank located in the bed of a truck; a worker was observed standing on an affixed toolbox
    unprotected from a fall greater than 6 feet. A nearby Supervisor intervened with the worker. When questioned, the
    worker stated he chose that position and location to have better control of the water hose. The second contractor
    service provider failed to fill his truck causing both operations to use one water supply. With the additional output of
    water needed caused the first contractor service provider tank to empty before the end of the shift. With this “LOSS”
    and not having the necessary fitting to fill from the ground, the contractor made a change in the process that resulted in
    a poor choice of body position. The contractor felt that he needed to hold the hose from atop the tool box to prevent it
    from coming out of tank during filling.
    Discussion points for the “What Happened?”
    Ask workers why they think this happened?
    What could have been done better to prevent the worker from being exposed to a fall greater than 6 foot?
    What are our other options that could have been utilized to fill the water tank?
    What is the appropriate communication needed between the water truck driver and worker before commencing the
    task?

    Asked the worker what their concerns or focus was as they where completing the task?
    Why did they select the position on top of the toolbox?
    Was this an acceptable practice for their company to complete the task?
    Are their other situations in their work scope/equipment that needs to be evaluated for fall hazards?
    How could we share the learnings from this event to prevent similar events from occurring in the future?

    Impact/Active Learning discussion ideas


    Ask workers to get in groups of 2 or 3 to discuss:
    How would the employee, crew and the project be impacted if one of our co-workers were seriously injured or killed on
    our project?
