Abstract: At 8:00 a.m. on December 14, 2024, an employee working as a production supervisor for a shipyard was moving a gangway in place at a moored vessel in drydock. The employee picked up the gangway using the forks of the forklift and began to drag it. The weight of the gangway caused it to break away at a rail causing the forklift to tip over. The employee was not belted into the PIV as the forklift tipped over crushing the employee between the ground and the PIV cab. The employee died from crushing injuries to his head and upper torso.
