Abstract: At 11:47 a.m. on August 14, 2020, an employee was attempting to scrape a trailer clean of distillers grain from on top of a catwalk. The pipe he was using for scraping was not a sufficient length to reach the trailer, so worked from the top of the trailer without fall protection. As he was working toward the rear of the traier hitting the pipe with a hammer to dislodge the grain, the employee fell nearly 10 feet to the pavement below. The employee broken his femur, shattered a knee, fractured a rib and incurred a brain contusion, requiring hospitalization.
