3 Victorian fatalities falling from a truck 2003 man fell from cabin Worker had heart attack and fell head-first from grain truck. WorkSafe prosecuted -$12500 fine and conviction 2010 self employed driver mechanism unclear fall from a prime mover that WorkSafe is now investigating (thus can t provide details)
4 Victorian incidents & notifications falling from a truck 27 in 12/13 from tray 2 in 12/13 from cab Examples: A male truck driver was on the ladder of the back of the truck, he has slipped on the ladder and caught his wedding ring on the corner of the ladder, and he has fallen approximately 1 metre but the ring was caught, resulting in the finger being de-gloved. The finger was amputated from the top knuckle above. Employee (male, 52 years) was out on a site collecting structural steel, as he went to step up on the side of the truck, he slipped and landed awkwardly onto his right knee. He returned to work and was taken to the local medical centre where he was informed that he had torn his PCL Whilst a 65 y/o male driver was loading pebbles, he climbed up the ladder at back of the truck, slipped off the back of his truck, landing on his back. He fell approximately 8-9 foot onto a draw bar. He fractured 4 vertebrae in his lower back.

15 What are the risk factors? - Poor vehicle design - Lighting and weather - Slippery surfaces - Trip hazards - Uneven loads - Worker haste and inattention - Improper footwear Image: Ray Cash Photography
16 National regulations say.. All fall risks (WHS Part 4.4. Regulations 78-80) Control any risk of fall from one level to another with: > On ground or solid construction AND > Safe access THEN > Passive fall prevention device (eg. barrier) THEN > Work positioning system THEN > Fall arrest system (with emergency rescue procedures)
17 Victorian regulations say - general General fall risk (Section 21, OHS Act) > General duties to control risks to health and safety as far as is reasonably practicable > Eliminate THEN reduce risk (Section 20) as far as.
18 Victorian regulations say for >2m Over 2 m (Regulation 3.3) Very similar to national legislation.
