Forensic Engineering Investigation Of a Fall From A Construction Machine

Abstract

Each Construction Machine Design Presents Unique Challenges For Mounting And Dismounting Byorkers. A Forensic Case Involved A Worker Fall From Around The Turret Platform Of A New Digger Derrickruck, Parked On Level Concrete. The Case Involved Analysis Of Osha, Ansi, Fmvss, Sae, And Isotandards, And Their Scopes, Relevance And Interpretations. The Analysis Also Focused On Operator Instructions,He Design And Fabrication Of The Access Systems, The Worker Proportions, Feasible Competitoresigns, And Feasible Fabrication Options For The Subject Digger Derrick.
