Description:

A 45-year old waste disposal worker died on March 24, 2003, from injuries he received when he was crushed between a commercial waste disposal container (dumpster) and the rear-loading waste disposal truck he was operating. Safety latches were not used to secure the dumpster to the truck, and when it was lifted, the dumpster swung around and pinned the victim between the dumpster and the truck. Oklahoma Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (OKFACE) investigators concluded that to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Ensure that all waste disposal truck operators attach disposal containers in the proper manner. 2. Ensure that continuous training and monitoring for compliance is conducted for all high-risk tasks. 3. Ensure that all employees follow written policies and procedures for use of personal protective equipment.
