Investigation Summary
At 4:45 p.m. on August 23, 2024, A coworker was operating a Yale sit-down forklift at the R22 loading dock for rail cars after completing a loading operation. Employee #1 was assisting with closing a stuck rail car door by attaching a metal chain. The coworker used the forklift to lift a Torbeck Dock Board (Model: 9298/72, Serial: 10966) that connected the dock to the rail car. The dock board slipped off the forklift's forks and fell, striking Employee #1 in the neck and head. Employee #1 sustained a severe neck laceration and head trauma, resulting in fatal injuries.
