Investigation Summary
Employee #1 had hauled a load of old cardboard containers to a recycling plant in a semi-trailer truck with a van-type trailer. Employee #1 entered the plant, had the truck weighed on the plant scales and then got into the line of trucks waiting to have the trailer unloaded by plant personnel. As Employee #1 was waiting in line, he opened the rear trailer doors, which he was required to do to so that the trailer could be unloaded. Employee #1 had opened the right-hand door and latched it back out of the way. When Employee #1 unlatched the remaining, left-hand door, a bale of the old cardboard containers fell out upon him. The bale weighed 1,071 pounds. Employee #1 was killed by the falling bale of old cardboard containers.
