Event: 03/29/1993

Employee killed when run over by backing tank truck

Employee #1, a truck driver for an oil well servicing company for 2 1/2 years, delivered and parked a frac tank at an oil lease. He pulled his truck out of the way so a second driver could deliver and park another frac tank next to the one he had just parked. The second driver ran over Employee #1 while backing his truck and tank into position. Contributing factors to the accident include lack of a written procedure for safely spotting, parking, and setting 35 ft by 8 1/2 ft by 12 ft 6 in. high steel oil well frac tanks; inadequate lighting for night time operations; and lack of highly visible reflector vests and flags for spotters or ground personnel.
