Investigation Summary
On April 23, 2010, Employee #1 and a coworker were repairing the upper corner of a 45 foot truck trailer (trailer 1). A second truck trailer (trailer 2) was positioned in front of trailer 1, with a rolling staircase between the two trailers. As Employee #1 was located on the rolling staircase, facilitating work, the coworker, unaware of Employee #1's position, moved trailer 2. This caused the rolling staircase to become unstable, and tipped over, causing Employee #1 to fall from the staircase. Employee #1 was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was hospitalized and treated for multiple fractures.
