Falling bucket lands on inspector's head, injuring him seriously.
Two mechanics are checking the mast of a lift truck in pair with a bucket lifted up to the uppermost point. One of them accidentally touched the bucket control lever and the bucket was let fall all of sudden. The other mechanic was hard hit by the falling bucket and seriously injured.



Corrective Action
1. If the bucket must be lifted up for the work, either secure it with a rope or support it with a block or pillar.
2. If the work is to be done in pair, be sure to determine signals and have a safety meeting beforehand.
