A worker who admitted he"may have" been using a mobile phone when he fell off the back of a bin lorry and broke his ankle has lost a case at the Workplace Relations Commission.
"We were travelling on a straight stretch of roadway and the truck went around a bend to the right… I cannot remember if my foot or hand slipped first, but I fell onto the roadway and I heard my ankle snap," he wrote in the report. The company's solicitor, Cian Beecher of Arthur Cox, submitted that the worker confirmed to investigators at a meeting in February 2022 that there were"no issues" with the truck or any of the handles or steps.
