Abstract: At approximately 11:00 a.m. on February 16, 2016, Employee #1 was loading a powered industrial truck onto a flatbed trailer that was caught on a security camera. He drove the powered industrial truck in reverse onto the inclined flatbed trailer and parked it on the slightly downward slope of the flatbed with the front facing the dock wall. He appeared to drop a chain to secure the powered industrial truck into a chain grab receptacle on the flatbed and then used a ratchet to tighten the chains. He did not block the wheels of the powered industrial truck. He jumped from the driver side of the flatbed and the powered industrial truck began to roll and slide off the side of the flatbed. Employee #1 began running alongside the flatbed next to the moving powered industrial truck when it rolled and slid off striking him. Employee #1 hit his head on the dock wall as he was crushed by the powered industrial truck and killed.
