2024 Second Alert LTI#18 Trap Between
On 26 September 2024 at 06:45am, while a Tipper Driver (Driver 2) was assisting his colleague (Driver 1) to inspect the air pressure unit from the right side of the vehicle, Driver 1 started to drive forward, unaware that the Driver 2 was under the vehicle. This caused the Tipper tire to hit Driver 2, injuring his left foot. He was initially treated at PDO clinic before being transferred to Badr Al Samaa hospital, where x-ray revealed a fracture on his left foot.
Ensure clear communication between team members, especially in noisy environments, to avoid miscommunication and assumptions Always verify that no one is near or under the vehicle before moving it, especially during inspections. Follow strict safety protocols and make sure all individuals are visible and accounted for before operating any machinery or vehicle.
Driver 1 believed the inspection was complete, so he wanted to drive the vehicle away. Driver 2 believed that his colleague had followed him to continue the inspection on the other side of the vehicle. Verbal communication between both drivers was ineffective due to the noise levels in the area.
