Investigation Summary
At 1:30 a.m. on October 31, 2017, Employee #1 was opening the door of a trailer to unload it. One hand was on the grab bar, while the other hand was on the lever of the door. The driver of the trailer pulled forward, causing the employee to fall off of the dock and onto the ground below. The driver was not aware that the employee had fallen off of the dock, and began to back the trailer up so that it was flush with the dock. The employee became pinned between the dock and the bar on the back of the trailer. Employee #1 sustained fractures to his hip and head. The employee was hospitalized for treatment.
