Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was using a forklift to unload a tractor trailer that was being spotted at a dock area. He assumed that the driver had completed the spotting operation. The truck driver was not aware that Employee #1 or the forklift was in the trailer when he decided to move his vehicle for a better unloading position. As the tractor trailer began to move, Employee #1, who had picked up his first load, was backing out of the trailer and lost control of the forklift. The forklift fell to the ground from the rear of the trailer, and was pinched between the trailer and the dock. Employee #1 was crushed between the forklift and the wall of the loading dock and was killed.
