Jose v MacSalvors & Brush Transformers, 15/12/09, CA. “I was on hire to WPD at Newton Abbott sub-station driving a Grove GMK 4075 80 tonne capacity crane No. Reg. no. WK02 UEG. I climbed onto the tool box at the rear of the superstructure cab to check the hoist rope and adjust the mirror, and to clean some footprints off the top of the box. When I had finished, I stepped backwards off the tool box thinking I had left the crane slewed in line with the chassis and that the deck would be below me. Unfortunately, this was not the case and I stepped back into nothing and I fell to the ground thereby sustaining my injuries.”
