Loading & Unloading Heavy Equipment Accidents, Injuries and Deaths
Workers loading bulldozers and other heavy equipment on and off flatbed trucks and trailers seems like such a common everyday task. However, loading and unloading heavy equipment results in tragic accidents, injuries and deaths. In reality, loading and unloading heavy equipment results in many injuries and deaths every year. According to statistics, loading equipment appears to result in more accidents and deaths than unloading equipment.
Types of Heavy Equipment
Bulldozers are especially dangerous to load and unload according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In addition, scrapers, excavators, dozers, other construction equipment are involved in these injuries and deaths.
Types Of Workers Injured and Killed
All types of workers can be involved in heavy equipment loading and unloading injuries and deaths. The highest number of injuries and deaths invole heavy equipment operators. In addition, the construction laborers, truck drivers, spotters, signal workers, construction supervisors, pedestrians and members of the public are also injured and/or killed in these tragic incidents.
Types Of Accidents & Mishaps
Statistics show that the main cause of death is equipment overturns while the equipment is being driven on or off the trailer. Others are struck by moving equipment or crushed between the equipment and trailer.
The Bottom Line
Improper training, improper supervision, and improper planning account for almost all heavy equipment loading and unloading injuries and deaths. One thing is for sure. All of these injuries and deaths are preventable. A third party lawsuit can hold the responsible parties and/or persons legally liable for heavy equipment loading and unloading injuries and deaths.
