Investigation Summary
At 6:50 a.m. on February 9, 2022, Employee #1 was standing between his delivery truck and the loading dock, preparing to offload palletized beverages. Employee #1 had backed his delivery truck into dock #4 and was standing between the rear of the truck trailer and the loading dock. Employee #1 was preparing to offload palletized beverages that were to be delivered to the store, when the vehicle rolled back and pinned Employee #1 between the truck and the loading dock. Employee #1 was discovered dead by an employee working at the store. The vehicle's parking brake had not been applied. The coworker theorized that Employee #1 had forgotten to apply the parking brake before exiting the vehicle's cab, and the truck rolled back while Employee #1 was manipulating the lift gate of the truck and was pinned between the truck and the loading dock. The employee was killed due to traumatic compressional asphyxia.
