Employee #1 got out of the cab and began talking to the spotter, who was about 3 to 4 ft from the right front of the truck. The coworker backed up the truck to within 4 ft of the dump. He then dismounted, opened the right door of the packer blade, elevated the bed, and returned to the cab of truck, at which time he saw Employee #1 walking toward the right rear of the truck . The driver began to pull forward and then turned left because a bulldozer was waiting in front of the truck. Employee #1 was found 13 hours later underneath several tons of trash. He was killed. No violations were observed. Employee #1 could have been knocked down by garbage, struck by the bulldozer, or hit by the bulldozer after having tripped and fallen.
