Abstract: Employee #1 was assisting a truck driver who was delivering a compactor dumpster. The tailgate on the dumpster, which was supposed to be chained up, had come loose and was down so that the dumpster could not be placed onto the loading dock. To help, the employee lifted the tailgate up as the dumpster was moved backward. He became caught between the tailgate and the dumpster and received broken ribs, a fractured left elbow, and bruises to his liver, spleen, and pancreas. He was hospitalized.
