Courier & Delivery Services: On-the-Road + Load-Handling Hazards Fatality File

Worker is killed when crushed between loading dock and backing

At 4:30 a.m. on March 4, 2022, an employee was working as a traffic, shipping, and receiving clerk for a courier and express delivery service. He was a dock manager. He was standing on the ground in front of loading dock number 86 at his work site. A trailer was pulled in a few feet away from the edge of the loading dock. One end of a roller conveyor was still inside the truck. The driver of the truck backed the trailer up against the dock to make it easier to retract the conveyor into the warehouse dock. The employee, on the ground outside the dock, was pinned between the back of the trailer and the edge of the loading dock. His vital internal organs were crushed. He was killed.
