Description:A diesel mechanic died when he was crushed between the left front tire and the cab of a fire truck. The victim was attaching gauges and connections from a diagnostic monitor machine to the truck engine when the incident occurred. The CA/FACE investigator determined that, in order to prevent future occurrences: 1. Employers should ensure that diesel mechanics always stand clear of lowering cabs. 2. Truck manufacturers should design a control box "dead man" switch to use when lowering cabs.
