Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and coworkers were engaged in road work on I-270. A lane shift was set up to close the left lane. At the time of the accident, Employee #1 had parked and exited his Ford F250 pickup truck to straighten out a traffic barrel in the lane closure area. As he was walking behind the truck to return to the driver's side, a coworker entered the truck and started to back up. The truck struck Employee #1, who sustained fractures to his face, pelvis, and sacrum, road burns, and bruises. The employer had a written safety and health program, but it did not specifically address rules for operating motor vehicles. The vehicle was equipped with an audible horn.
