Madera Quarry LLC · Fall to the walkway or working surface

Plant mechanic was working to clear a rock lodged in the tail pulley of a conveyor. Equipment was off and locked out and tagged out. Using a breaker bar to pry loose the rock, the miner lost his grip on the bar and fell backward but his left foot remained planted as his body twisted. This resulted in the dislocation of his left ankle and broken left foot.
