Abstract: At 9:38 a.m. on October 26, 2016, a truck driver was delivering a tank of soy bean oil to an industrial facility. After parking at the facilities receiving dock, the truck driver was met by a facility worker who took samples of the tanker truck's contents and prepared for offloading. The truck driver then climbed a ladder that was affixed to the tanker to open its vents and successfully descended the ladder. However, for an unknown reason, he climbed the ladder once more. Once at the top, the driver stood up and lost his balance, falling approximately eleven feet to the concrete surface below. He was found unresponsive and emergency services were unable to resuscitate him. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. It was determined that his death resulted from skull fractures and brain contusions.
