Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:00 p.m. on August 31, 2005, Employee #1, an independent owner-operator of a tractor trailer, arrived at dock #5 of warehouse building #829 to pick up a load of aluminum coils. Another truck driver saw Employee #1 atop his load of aluminum, kicking at his tarpaulin to cover the load before transport. At approximately 12:00 midnight on August 31, 2005, the same truck driver saw a tarp lying on the concrete pavement beside Employee #1's tractor trailer. At 12:12 a.m. on September 1, 2005, an Aloca, Inc., plant protection officer discovered Employee #1 under the tarp after he apparently fell onto the pavement. He was initially conscious but confused, unable to communicate verbally, and bleeding severely from his head and right ear. The plant protection officer immediately called Alcoa's emergency response personnel, who arrived at the accident scene to provide emergency care. Warrick County emergency medical services were called to the accident scene to administer further care. At 1:06 a.m., Employee #1 was transported by helicopter to Saint Mary's Hospital in Evansville, IN, where he was admitted for treatment of multiple skull fractures and subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhages. Employee #1 died at 8:55 p.m. on September 3, 2005, as a result of injuries sustained in the fall.
