Investigation Summary
On March 28, 2012, Employee #1 was working on the dock (ship-side) during the unloading of a vessel at a marine terminal. Employee #1 was assigned the task of checking the break-bulk cargo against the lot sheet after the crane lowered it from the vessel's Hatch Number 2 onto the dock area. Cargo was also being unloaded from Hatch Number 3 and Hatch Number 5. During the operation, forklifts moved the cargo from the dock area below the respective hatches to a staging area away from the vessel. Employee #1 was standing on the dock waiting for cargo to be lowered from Hatch Number 2. A forklift was traveling forward from the dock area near Hatch Number 3 to the staging area with a load obstructing the operator's line of sight. The forklift traveled across the dock area below Hatch Number 2, striking and running over Employee #1, which killed him.
