Concrete Mixer Truck Accident

A construction worker was injured while loading bags of dry mix into a truck-mounted concrete mixer. His arm was caught in the pinch point between the charging hopper and the barrel's internal mixing blades. The workers' compensation insurance company asked APTECH to investigate the accident. APTECH's investigation included an assessment of effectiveness of mechanical guards, warning signs, and operator safety training programs.
