POWERED HAULAGE
Kimaterials Inc · Struck against a moving object
EE was driving truck too fast downhill into pit. EE did not utilize a lower gear, retarder or emergency brake. Left side tires clipped the berm and caused the bed to overturn. The cab did not overturn. As a precaution we had a supervisor drive the operator to the hospital where minor bruises were found and the operator was allowed to return to work that day.
