Investigation Summary
On February 17, 2001, Employee #1, a forklift operator, was killed in a forklift accident. Employee #1 was driving a forklift up a portable "dock ramp", a ramp that allows a forklift to go from ground level to the trailer bed level and inside the trailer in a parking lot situation, when the dock ramp collapsed causing the forklift to fall and tip over on its right side. Employee #1 fell out of the forklift and was crushed by the overhead bars on the forklift. Employee #1 was not wearing a seat belt and the dock ramp was not secured to the trailer with chains as required for safe operation and the ramp plate was not resting on the trailer bed to hold the weight of the forklift driving on it. Employee #1 was not aware that the dock ramp was not fully setup and thought it was ready to be driven on. Employee #1 was killed.
