Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:25 a.m. on July 24, 2012, Employee #1 went to the bulk areas and noticed that the packages were backing up due to insufficient amounts of tugs to unload the packages. The employee was climbing into a parked pit irregular cart to check to see if there were any available carts to use due to the backing up of packages on the bulk area. Employee #1 climbed into a pit irregular cart to drive to the outside yard area where unused pit irregular carts were parked. The employee noticed an unused cart parked and while leaving the outside yard area to return to the bulk area, he stepped on the pedal forgetting that the pit irregular cart gear was in reverse.
