Abstract: On October 12, 2010, Employee #1 was loading supplies onto a pick-up truck. The truck was a Ford F-250 and was equipped with a platform lift gate. He walked around the truck to check if everything was secured. At approximately 13:34 p.m., the platform was in the vertical position, when it pivoted and fell on Employee #1 and pinned him against the loading dock wall. A coworker heard the sound and drove the truck from the dock, which freed the platform from Employee #1. Emergency medical personnel were summoned. They arrived and transported him to a medical center. Employee #1 was treated for a hernia, 8 fractured ribs, lacerated liver, fractured sternum, fractured spine and stayed in the hospital for approximately two weeks.
