OSHA has cited Advanced Mobility by Kentucky Trailer for one serious safety violation after a mobile medical trailer fell and fatally crushed an electrician on his first day of working on the job.
An investigation determined another worker inadvertently cut a hydraulic line that allowed the trailer to fall on the electrician as he worked underneath it. The agency found the company failed to make sure safety pins were used on the trailer’s front two hydraulic legs.
Six serious violations were issued after the investigation for: no lockout/tagout program, exposing workers to lead, failing to implement engineering controls, and not training workers on a number of things, including lead exposure, hazardous chemicals and more.
