Abstract: On March 26, 2012, Employee #1, a warehouse superintendent, was getting an outgoing load of batteries ready for shipment inside a cargo container/trailer that was docked at the warehouse loading dock. The other employees secured the load inside the container and gave the container seal to Employee #2 the driver of the truck. Employee #1 was still working on the bill of laden and was not aware that Employee #2 had received the container seal. In order to apply the seal to the container, Employee #2 had to pull the truck away from the loading dock. Employee #1 started to walk into the container to retrieve the seal from where he had left it and at the same time, Employee #2 pulled the truck away from the loading dock. Employee #1 fell down 4.5 ft onto the asphalt surface. Employee #1 suffered a broken right ankle. Employee #1 was taken to an area hospital, where he had surgery. The employee was hospitalized for one week.
