Investigation Summary
On March 23, 2004, Employee #1 was driving Powered Industrial Truck called "dockstaker" to help unload the truck at the loading dock. The truck driver arrived at a warehouse planning to unload merchandise from a tractor/trailer that was shipped to this facility. The trick driver did not work for the employer. The truck driver backed his tractor-trailer up to an elevated loading dock, set his brake, and lifted his trailer overhead door and the overhead door over the loading dock. The truck driver actuated an Edge-of-dock device, EOD, which was newly installed hours earlier. This EOD device was designed to bridge the gap between the trailer and loading dock. After lowering the EOD device into position, Employee #1 showed up on dockstacker. Employee #1 began driving the dockstacker into the back of the trailer to load merchandise when the bottom of the dockstacker became stuck, high center, on the dockleveler device. Employee #1 could not drive backward as he was stuck. It was decided upon between Employees #1 who only spoke Spanish and the truck driver who only spoke English that the dockstocker would be driven forward into the trailer and secured before repositioning the tractor trailer in order for the elevations of the trailer and dock to better equal each other. When the truck driver drove the tractor-trailer away from the dock, the dockstacker and Employee #1 fell out of the truck. Employee #1 died of head and upper body trauma.
